SUMMARY- I found one of mom's colored pencil diagrams with a bunch of notes below it of "County Line" tucked into this book. Mom picked up this designer's books whenever she came across one, so I know she was one of mom's favorites. I can see why. I'll be very interested as I go through everything to see if she made it. My mom was very prolific, but didn't have the patience to finish most of the tops she pieced. If she had, I don't think I'd ever have gotten them all back to North Carolina. But at some point I'm going to have to finish them myself. That's going to require a lot of planning and more specialized equipment than my current sewing arrangement has - like a quilting machine.
