What a beautiful first quilt! My first ever quilt was made for my father too and the blocks were a nine patch variation. Mine however was made of scraps left over from making clothes although I did buy fabric for the border and backing. I think I used an old mattress pad for the filling and held the layers together with yarn ties. Oh, the memories! You did such a nice job and your father looks happy under it. Your mother is so beautiful. You are lucky to have her help on this project. Well done!
ResponderExcluirDear Sheila, thanks for your kind words, they are very important to me, it always cheer me up.
ResponderExcluirI have a heirloom quilt made by my great grandma (grandmother of my mother) that is a repurposing of scraps of old clothes. It is very simple but it has a great value for me. I guess that is funny because in other times patchwork were a recicling craft. Now quilting is expensive: we use new fabrics (100% cotton) and we want to be artistic and have good times making the quilts.
Well, you are right, I am very blessed for my parents being so healthy and sane. And with me.
Thanks a lot!
