As a quilter, I have heard so many great stories of other quilters and occasionally have been able to finish projects to complete their heirlooms.
This particular quilt has a great story. It was pieced by Buenaflora Curameng who was known to her family as Nana. She was born June 9, 1918 and passed away February 3, 2021. She made countless quilts for her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, great great grandkids, and many friends.
She began making woven blankets in the Philippines in her 20s. She later moved to Hawaii and began quilting in the 70s. As she got older, her eyesight declined but she was able to piece this last quilt top but was unable to quilt it.
I was truly honored to finish it so one more family member could have one of her quilts to cherish.
