I agree with Kevin, I suggest that you make up a good supply of different kinds to take to the quilting class with you for those will be a hot item once they know you made it. Any good seamstress, no matter how long they have sewn, always has a good seam ripper or two laying around. My mother would have loved that one I am sure. Thanks for sharing it and enjoy the quilting class with your wife. Always good to find things to do together.
