Old Friends Forever



I recently ran into an old friend from one of my early quilt classes and she told me she was giving up quilting...and could I use her stash.  I said I'd be glad take it off her hands and put it into a quilt along with my own vintage collection.  What are friends for?

    Just the right amount of dark and light. The red border frames is beautifully. It's so nice to have fabric from friends in our quilts.

      So easy to make, too! Don't know why I haven't made one before.
