Just a little ramble about thread. Years ago, while going thru Grans sewing leftovers, we discovered a small bag with threads lovingly wrapped up in little bundles. Gran said when she reused old garments nothing went to waste. She would pull out the thread from the seams and re-use it as well as the fabric, buttons and anything else that could be salvaged. Gran lived to be 104 and would have enjoyed seeing this double wedding ring quilt made with what looks like all that lovingly salvaged fabric and thread.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496936441104915044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228768149564232988.post-59816979087938364242010-05-16T20:55:43.756-05:002010-05-16T20:55:43.756-05:00I have an 'issue' quilt in the frame right...I have an 'issue' quilt in the frame right now so came to re-look at some of your issue quilts.

Your story is inspiring me to get it out. I don't think it will turn out as pretty...the "melons" are a blue flowered sheet.
