Framed Squares

I started this quilt for my Mom in February of 2003. I so wanted to give it to her on Mother's Day that year but seems that life and my quilting abilities got in the way. But things worked out in the end, she and my Dad rode the train to WI that summer and I was able to give it to her then. It has always been folded neatly at the bottom of her bed. I think it might be the warmest quilt I have ever made. It is long enough (74" x 94")to tuck under your lend and around your toes...and in our family that in a 'feet'. About a year or so ago, my Dad gave the quilt back to me and I am so glad that he did. During the summer I use it as a table cloth but in the winter it is in the copper kettle ready to warm someones tootsies. And my Mom is still around. It is a specail quilt.
