Looking at all of them together I was immediately aware of changes in my applique technique ... 70's were tighter - er - stitches closer together ... today's - um - not so much! I don't think it will be an issue ... just something that will tell a story in later years.
I did get to take a trip down memory lane with some of the fabrics; a maternity top, a dress I wore on a date with Larry, a shirt for Herb, a new top for a daughter, curtain fabric that became a dolly blanket, a blouse for Grandma BJ, etc. etc. I could have gotten a little weepy, but the memories were happy ones and of the people and things I love and care about the most. This will be a memory quilt ~ of the sweet things in life!
I love the "Dimples" pattern by Andover Fabrics and like the deep purple, medium blue and bold gold OR a deep brown, pine green and muted gold for sashing, border, and binding ... decisions, decisions.
But, before I can move on with this project I need to get the family challenge quilt finished ... only binding and label left!
