This was a task my mother and her younger sister did with their Mother and Grandmother when my mother and aunt were the same age as I was. The tradition stopped with me as I was blessed with 2 sons who had no interest, when they were young, in helping me with the cleaning of "doodads".

She will get the remaining pieces later. It is nice when a family member also appreciates the "old fashioned" pieces.<br />The brown and turquoise quilt is beautiful. The longer I read your blogs the more quilts are getting added to that already long list.<br />I got a quilt back I had sent out to be quilted. (I have always done my own, but this quilt is for one of my twin granddaughters and I knew I would never do both on my own. It is beautiful, can't wait for the other one to come. They are completely different in color and pattern, but I chose the same quilting pattern for both. <br />Thanks for the daily inspiration.
