Beautiful, I love your quilt. Had friends who were avid quilters but it didn’t appeal to me. I spent all that money on clothing fabrics and sewed for myself, husband, children and then grandchildren. Have you downsized your material stash? Mine awaits a radical cull!
Love this story. My mother was an avid quilter. I’ve tried, made some small items but not attempted a quilt. I have three of her quilts, one is currently on our bed, the other two are Holly Hobby quilts she made for my girls. Fortunately I asked her to stitch her name and the year on the back in 1986. We lost her at 59 in 1988.

Hi Carmel. Yes the stash is now contained in just two fabric boxes along with a few UFOs.

These are heirlooms from the heart! They deserve their stories too!
