White Quilt

    
I finished my "mostly white" quilt just in time for my mom for Mother's Day.  The fabrics were ones my grandma had cut up and stored in a shoe box.  After she died my mom didn't have the heart to toss them, so even though she doesn't like to sew she saved them.  Turns out I like to sew! :)  My mom remembers most all the fabrics; Easter dresses, school dresses, her dad's shirts, even the fabric my grandma used to make herself a dress to wear to my mom's wedding.  I used white muslin so the fabrics would really stand out and it washed up nice and crinkely, really adding to the vintage feel!  I loved working on this quilt and loved being able to give my mom something from both me and my grandma for Mother's Day.
