Scrap blocks for the yet unnamed quilt - and what about the design? I change my planning process every time I work on it. Maybe this is the Mystery Puzzle Scrap Quilt!

Texas Bluebonnets

Mama and her sister, Aunt Ted, made this quilt when they were young ladies. Hand painted, embroidery and quilted State Flowers ~ 1926

Kit sewn together and quilted by my mother, Mabel Edmondson Hart, for our fourth baby. She made the other three covers but we wore them out. We "saved" this one. 1963

Top bought from a lady from church and it had a PINK sash. Put a brown sash on it and quilted it for my husband. He wanted me to make him an ORANGE dahlia quilt. I told him quilters are not suppose to work on a fabric or pattern they do not like. He accepted this!

Laundry mark from the commercial laundry. The commerical was used during WWII when mother was appointed County Tax Collector in place of Daddy who was in the Navy aboard the USS Sabine - 1943-45

Two more quilts pieced and quilted by Grandmother Ollie - Loraine Texas

Purchased quilted quilts - loved by all

Christmas gift from my grandson, Ryan

It was my dream when I started this blog to look again at ALL my quilts and to share them with you all. I now have all the photos and in the process of posting them all. But you know what that means, I have not done ONE THING about quilting today other than dream about what I am going to make with the new Mylar Hexagons I received today from Brandy's. Enjoy!
