Re: Oh my



My first thought was to go out and buy her a bedspread with pillow shams.
If you really want to make a queen size quilt - it is doable. Just take it
one step at a time and you will get it done.

I've been saving FQs for a lap quilt for my mom, who just moved into
an assisted living facility, although she still drives and is quite
independent. Anyway, I just got off the phone with her. She called to
ask me if I could "whip out" a "little something to cover" her bed.
Sure, Mom.... what size? "Oh, queen size. And can you make it big
enough so I can use it for a bed spread. And some pillow covers would
be great too."

Ack.

I've done some long twin size quilts for my sons, none of which has
been a work of art. But I've never attempted anything approaching
queen size, much less one with enough overhang and length to be a
bedspread.

Ack. Somebody tell me I can do this??

Okies, better start buying more of those pink and green FQs.
