Here is my latest quilt. Tony named it Patchwork Orange. I will give it to a friend whose mother is terminal.
It is bright and cheerful. Sort of fun to put together. And you can see my tootsies!! LOL

CG!!!! I am your biggest fan!! I love your quilt! Are those feet part of the quilt?? ;oP

I actually finished two of my own quilts too. When I get the chance I will post them on webshots and paste the link here (posting photos here is just impossible for me. I can never make it work).

Super on your finishing your quilts. I look forward to seeing them, It seems my feet like to be in pictures. They always seem to show up! LOL eom CG

I want to give comfort to those who are in need in some way. It is my little way of doing something for them. eom CG

Very, very nice. I can remember my mother sitting in the spare bedroom at a set of quilting frames, quilting by the light of an aladdin lamp. Of course, making the bedding was a big must living on farms back then.

I remember one in particular that was really beautiful. It was a double wedding ring. I sometimes wonder which of my 2 sisters made off with all the quilts. I was busy raising children when my father decided to sell and move. Oh well................ ;>(

I don't do things by hand but certainly admire those who do. I love seeing those old quilts that people did back then. When I was in St Louis we went to an old quilt exhibit at the art museum. They were gorgeous. eom CG
