These pieced blocks have a long history dating back to 1998. For a while, I thought of digging up old memories, but then it turned out way too much to type. Bottom line is, this friend (not a quilter) went to the USA as an exchange student and saw quilts for the first time there. These were made by her host family.
After
returning, getting married and with two children, she went through a bad spell
and made these blocks, sewn by hand, over telephone message paper squares and
finally finished them this year. All but
perfect, but she is very proud of her quilt.
This was
also my first introduction to what I knew then, as patchwork. I only about two
years later, heard the term “quilting” and with this, pieced squares, my hobby
started.
