Well, I am Ms. Peri, I'm very On, rock the microphone, and then I'm gone

This was a blast from the past recipient!  Many years ago, I created quilts for two brothers,  My son and the recipient's sons had been in the same Boy Scout troop but of course all the boys are now well into adulthood pursuing careers and raising families.  

The recipient had an aunt who handpieced and hand appliqued this cheerful springy quilt top many years ago.     The quilt top had never been put together as a quilt. It was in fairly good shape despite the passing decades.  Unfortunately it was cost-prohibitive to quilt this beauty by hand so the recipient opted for machine quilting.


We appliqued a simple label to the back reading as follows
Hand-pieced and hand-appliqued by Pauline "Aunt Polly " Miller in 1960.
