I love that - what a great way to remember your ancestry - that is definetly a family heirloom - 100 yrs from now - your family members will look back and know where they came from. What an inspiration.

That is something that will be cherished for ever, I know what a lot of work that was putting that all together and I am sure your family will love it as well as everyone wanting one, but none of them know just how much work you put into it, great job. Between all the Genealogy, pictures and hand work went a loving job that is.

You made a fantastic memory quilt and adding all the information for each person will help future generations know where they came from. Well done!!!

Very nice...I like your layout. I made one for my grandmother's 90th birthday...it was my first one...so I wasn't sure what to do. But I definitely like yours much better.

yes it has their date of birth,who they married, what they did for a living, some thing special I remember about them, their date of death and their final resting place.
