I truly believe that there is a season for all things, and sometimes things that didn't appeal to us at one time in our life are the same things that been us joy, years later. So, don't throw it out. You can always turn a quilt project into a pillow project. I have a quit in my closest that I started around thirty years ago . . . I never thought that I would ever enjoy quilting. Now, I'm thinking that it won't be long before I pull it out and finish it :) Happy Weekend :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-19855759364363088342014-02-15T16:45:15.943-08:002014-02-15T16:45:15.943-08:00I started a small hexagon project a long time ago ...I started a small hexagon project a long time ago and never did get very far with it.

In fact they're a joy to make and a relaxing lap project. Maybe you could take what you have of your Mom's project and make pillows. Something that you could use and remember her with :) Happy Weekend :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-84890801101513709482014-02-15T15:57:54.266-08:002014-02-15T15:57:54.266-08:00Can't wait to see it all quilted, Connie.
