A few years ago, I asked a local friend if she would like me to make a quilt out of her dearly departed Mom’s clothes.  She did, and after a month or so, she sent me a box of her mom’s things.

But, doggone it, my MS got in the way of doing anything quilt-related.  I felt guilty about not being able to get to her quilt but there was just no way I could handle it – I was an MS mess and didn’t sew ANY quilts for about two years.

Nearly all of the clothes in the box from my friend were pajamas her mom had worn for at least the past five (or more) years…as her mother battled dementia.

A few weeks ago, I *finally* felt like I could tackle that quilt, and took the squares I had already cut out, pressing them to a stabilizer and cut them to size.

Last weekend, I was able to put the rows together:

This weekend, I was able to sew the rows together and add the borders:

And while I was at it, I also got the binding ready to go, once the quilt is quilted by my friend Meloney!

Always feels good to get a project done that has been waiting on me.  Have YOU found and finished a UFO lately?
