A 70's patchwork made by her mother (ie: my husband's grandmother). It's lined with muslin and the elastic is shot. But oooooh, have I got plans!
I am going to use this skirt as the background for several Priority Alzheimers Quilts to benefit the Alzheimers Art Quilt Innitiative (AAQI). Given that my husband's grandmother (and great-grandmother) suffered from this awful disease, I thought it was a fitting use for her skirt. I'm excited to dust off my fabrics and have some fun!~Michelle

What a delicious treat to work with! ...can't wait to see what you come up with for your AAQI pieces!

Good luck, should be interesting to see what you come up with :)
What a great idea! It's always nice to get some already-sewn patchwork. That skirt just screams "70's." Can't wait to see what you create.
