From the Pop-Up Quilt Show
Mother and I have admired this pattern for a long time. We want to make one using her scraps. However, Mother thinks 2” finished squares are better than the 1 1/2” ones in the pattern. So, this quilt was put together as a “proof of concept” for the 2” squares. I used 2 jelly rolls to make it, really 1 jelly roll and a few strips from the second one.
I worked on this quilt at the Pop-Up show that the guild held at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds. Many people wandered through our work area. The gentleman were very interested in the old Singer Featherweight machines many of us were using. Sadly, they were not as admiring of the old quilters operating the machines!
