I'm assuming that she'd intended to make a quilt out of them and a number of other finished pieces because there were a bunch of cord squares cut that I did not bring home.
At this point, my thought is to use these 4 squares / cross-stitch pieces as the center of the memory quilt that I have plans to make for my dad. I'll be using sweatshirts that I had made for my mom over the years for it, with an occasional t-shirt. Many of the shirts I did had either cross-stitch pieces on them or applique work. And the sweatshirt material would work with the corduroy.
It'll be a while before I can get to that project since I need to finish up some commissioned work first. So who knows, the plan might change....
Gratitudes:
1. That I'm not having to deal with the 113+ degree temps of AZ.....98 plus high humidity is bad enough...lol
2. For making progress in getting things cleaned up and boxed up here in the house.
Your mother did really nice work. That's an interesting idea with the corduroy, and your change of plan to use them with the sweatshirts, etc., will make a nice quiltlet for your dad. Something for when he's sitting in his chair, maybe.
