Hi Sylvia!

 SL> I thought that it turned out nice.  I haven't heard (or rather seen
 SL> since I have missed so many messages in here while I was 'off' again)
 SL> whether Pat got my block.
I'm sure you've heard from her by now, though I haven't been 
reading much lately.  Just personals and flipping through.  My
body's in lousy shape...hopefully it will get back on track soon.
 SL> Well, I don't know about prizewinner, but I think that pattern would

I think that Broken dish quilt would look good no matter what you
did it in.  It's just that kind of pattern.  But I loved the very
pale pastel look of it in the magazine picture, didn't you?  It
just reminded me of some quilts my great-grandmother made a long,
long time ago, which are no longer in our family.  
When my grandmother died, my uncle's ex-wife was allowed to go
into the house where Gramma lived, and she took those quilts and
sold them.  My mother now has none of the quilts which her Granny
made, which her mother, my Gramma, had always said would be hers
some day.  :(  
I don't know why my cousin allowed her mother in there, she
knew where those quilts were to go and she also knew her mom
had had her eye on them for a long time.  By the time my
mother had traveled from Michigan to Kentucky for the funeral,
those quilts were already sold and my uncle's ex-wife was
nowhere to be found.  My uncle has been dead for years, so
Mom was the only remaining child, and they were supposed to
be hers.
