My Mom
has been gone 18 years now and as I was cleaning out yet another bunch of
'gotta-keep-it' bins I discovered negatives. Amongst them I found a couple of
quilt pictures. It's the perfect way to start this year's blogging,
showing a couple of her creations.
I wonder where I got the patching bug from.

She only
patched from scraps, which is probably why I tend to prefer scrappy quilts; and
I suppose it's also out of respect for who she was. I still have one unfinished
patchwork top of hers that I will (eventually) complete with batting and
backing - it will be a "combination quilt" - old meets new.
Unlike
the pictures I've included here - which as far as I can see are made from (yikes)
fortrel, the quilt top I have is thankfully made of cotton or cotton blend
fabrics.
What lovely memories, and it's so nice that you will have a quilt made by both you and your Mom.
