What a nice lady she must be! I know you will enjoy working on those quilts...1 of the 1st quilts I ever tackled on my own, was the Grandmother's Flower Garden...it was hand-pieced by my grandma and great-grandma...of course it was 40+ years old when I inherited it...I ended up tying it instead of quilting it...I could never have gotten it straight and lined up enough for regular quilting...actually, the tied look works pretty well on it...I gave it to my Mom, so she has a quilt worked on by 3 important gals in her life...By the way, I used thread that is usually used to crochet doilies to tie it...I had never tied a quilt, so kinda had to "wing it"...lol...
Have fun with your quilts!

Good things come to good people and she gave you the things she cared for most to assure herself they would go to someone who would love and treasure them as she did. Enjoy!
