Be sure to sing that title to the Paul McCartney tune “Will You Still Love Me?”
I have been quilting for Helen for a number of years. She used to make the trip from Corpus to Houston to drop off/pick up her quilts but a few years back she started having her daughter and/or daughter-in-law drop them off. I miss visiting with Helen. I hope I am as young as her when I am her age!
The majority of Helen’s quilts that I have quilted incorporate a grandmother’s flower garden theme somewhere along the way. These grandmother’s flower garden blocks are appliquéd to a square, which was then sashed. Then the entire block was appliquéd to the setting triangle backgrounds.
The border print wasn’t quite what Helen wanted so she basted it how she wanted and then sewed it with her machine.
Helen likes to use muslin for the backs of her quilts so she can see the quilting!

In the setting triangles I added a simple swirl and curl meander – just for texture. Lots of “ditch” stitching in the border stripe.
So – will you still be quilting when you are 90+? I sure hope I am and that I have all my wonderful friends right there with me!
