I re-topped an old quilt for my boys when they were little and we were living in North Dakota. My mother in law made wonderful quilts and gave us several Paula Shreckhisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950258738360858885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-39515076027611491802017-01-30T13:31:08.716-05:002017-01-30T13:31:08.716-05:00I'm sorry to hear that, Debbie.
