What remarkable quilting. Your aunt is proud of you.
Lots of beautiful quilts but the one that caught my attention was Joseph’s Coat. How neat that the maker used cotton shirts from GoodWill that were probably worn by many, many fathers. I love that idea. My own dad loved to shop at GoodWill so he would have found this one pretty cool! :-)
