The box might not be something nobody else wanted. Maybe she bought it from a yard sale herself. <BR/><BR/>Nice for someone to offer precut pieces so you don't have to do all those curves.

I feel sure that quilters of old had the same attachment to their quilts as we do today.<BR/>One thing in your post really stood out for me tho ... it was the tiny bit at the end about sticking to your guns as a parent. Ohhh, I so relate. Please let us have that strength at all times. Who knew that this could sometimes be such a tough job.<BR/>*huge hugs*<BR/>Tazzie<BR/>:-)Tazziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872390174069150617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-1153939215390878222006-07-26T13:40:00.000-05:002006-07-26T13:40:00.000-05:00Hi Mel, I'm really running behind in my reading of...Hi Mel, I'm really running behind in my reading of blogs...sorry *VBS*<BR/>I did just leave a commment down by the 10 miles ride. Gotta scoot for the dentist shortly.<BR/><BR/>I love that you were able to keep some of the stuff that came your way.<BR/>What a fun box to look through, thinking about the person, and what the pieces might have meant to her.<BR/>I got a box like that years ago. Bow Tie blocks from my father's oldest sister. She put a note in there, saying that they were made from cutaways she bought from a sewing factory, in CHicago, back in 1939-40.<BR/>They aren't wonderful, other than the colors and fabrics. And they are stitched on a treadle. But I think I will be putting them together on of these days. Fun post..thank you..*VBS*Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-1153935990854575802006-07-26T12:46:00.000-05:002006-07-26T12:46:00.000-05:00Are all the pieces the same shape or is there a me...Are all the pieces the same shape or is there a melon shape in there somewhere too ? I hope you can make something nice from it :-)<BR/>Maybe you can gift your mother with the finished product since it came from her friend ?
