I am finishing a quilt that was put together into blocks that I recieved from an eldery man in my town. His wife was into quilting and passed on over a year ago. I had received about 18 boxes a material from him, and one of the boxes was unfinished quilts. I asked hin if he wanted any finished quilts and he said no and showed me he has about a dozen he has chosen to keep. This piilowcase is from the sheet set that the backing and part of the front of a quilt I am working on right now. It will also have a recycled quilt that is falling apart used as batting. When I finish the quilt this goes with I will post it also.

I am glad he found someone that will use them like you will.

nice.

wow i think you will have enough to keep you going for a long time to come....soozie

great job

You keep on working on this project - what a great feeling it must be - to be able to make something from her unfinished quilts.

Cute lizard design. The man's wife would've been pleased that all her materials are being well used.

So glad you can keep her quilts going for her and find good use of the fabrics. Cute pillowcase. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice job and very lucky lady. Have fun doing all the projects.

Beautiful - The elderly must be very glad that he could give it to someone who appreciates its value like his wife did.
