I need to see how many hubby can take back and show his mom the end of July when he goes to visit.

Here's the label on the first grandma. All grandmas fabric was stored in her huge fabric closet. All the grand kids knew they were NOT allowed in there! Now they'll have a real Grandma treasure. (I hope lol)

Nice touch SheriR
Bojangles, sorry for loss and nice finish. Always touches my heart to see a quilt used as such.
This weekend, I finished up five quilts. Yep, four baby quilts and one churn dash shirt quilt. I don't have photos yet, but I was so excited to get five finishes I just could not help but say something.

SheriR -- holes in the middle? How interesting. Yep, you are doing a service for the whole family, so no worries about cutting into the fabric. Save some special pieces for a quilt for yourself...maybe pieces that you like and especially remind you of how special Grandma is.

Nancy, I sure am sorry to hear about you FIL. What a lovely way to share his quilt with him. Kudos to your hubby for thinking of that.

QM love LOVE them!! Why is the one your "70's" did you start it in the '70's or '70's fabric. Either way I really like it.
