That's a beautiful family photo. And what a great idea to use the fabric from the dresses to make this beautiful quilt, Janet. I love how one block can look so different depending on the arrangement of colors and lights/darks.<br />Heartfelt turned out great! Sometimes the only way to get a quilt finished is by check. <br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096999232383688886.post-49662838084131040992022-05-20T05:15:54.962-06:002022-05-20T05:15:54.962-06:00Lovely tails to read about your quilting your trek...Lovely tails to read about your quilting your trek through your ancestors trail and your mother.

Your quilts are beautiful! I love the photo of your family all dressed in period clothing. What a great experience it must have been to participate in that trek. I've always wanted to do something like that. That is a lovely tribute to your mom on Mother's Day :) <br />.

I love both quilts but the second one really is truly special and so long in the making. Your machine quilter really worked magic. It's just a beautiful quilt and will always remind you of those Trek times and that history and time with your children. I think maybe we made bloomers and aprons, but I bought everything else. When David and I were asked to join a Trek as chaperones, that was an easy "no" from us, lol.
