What would you do?

If you square them all up a bit "off center" then it will give the whole quilt a cohesive look :wink:
Another thought is to leave half squared, the other half off centered, and alternate them :D:D:D

Oh, do keep the work your dear mother done & try & square up as best you can. Find the smallest one & work from that one if possible. Once you have done that, you could even put them on point with a sashing between them.

I agree with everyone here....keep as much of her work as possible. Quilts are perfect in our own eyes and it doesn't matter what others may think. The perfection is it is your mother's work and your memories of her.

I have some small squares that my mom embroidered with animals. they have raveled and so I decided to add a border around each square. that way I can even them up. they are cute. I used pastel prints and there are enough to make a baby quilt.

I totally agree with the others. Keep as much of the original as possible. If the wonky look just isn't for you, then square the outside and add strips and borders to make the squares big enough to stitch together. You have a great family treasure, I know you will cherish it.
