Mom's Quilting Homework

I spent the fast week sorting Mom's sewing materials. Oh boy, just like her collection of beads, I should have expected she'd leave a huge collection of fabric. 



My Mom didn't really buy fabric. She'd get scraps from my aunt's dress making shop. My tita used to export to Japan, so the scraps were really nice and perfect for quilting. 

Sorting through the boxes was like going through a field with landlines. I had to be careful because there were a lot of random pins, especially for the unfinished projects she left.


And that's what surprised me. Mom left at least 50 unfinished projects. I didn't count anymore since I filled up four boxes with unfinished projects. I'm surprised my Mom didn't finish the projects because she told me I should finish projects before moving on to a new one. 

I also sorted fabric she already cut. She also drew lines on it too, so it'd be easier to piece together. I'm trying to figure out what she was trying to make. I'll try to do what she didn't finish. 

One thing that will be hard for me to finish are the clothes she was making for Sto. Nino. I don't really make clothes, but I'm willing to try. 

The washing and ironing continues!
