postage stamp quilt

About 4 or 5 years ago I made a postage stamp quilt top. Unfortunately I did not have the drive to carry the quilt to fruition. Only recently my mom attached the quilt top to the batting and backing (an old white sheet).

the quilt


(note her manicure - she is quite proud


of it and was posing her hands for the camera)





My mother used the above thread to sew the quilt.


She inherited this thread from her great grandmother


(who was very frugal). As you can see the thread is


wrapped around a toilet paper roll.
