What a beautiful gift and treasure you have received.
I just acquired quilting squares from the 1930's and 40's from my Grandmother Dyer on my Mother's side. My Mother just passed away in April 2010. I am working on putting the squares together with sashing and borders. I am having alot of fun trying to figure out what colors to use. My Mom told me some were from maternity tops that she wore when she was pregnant with me. I feel like my Grandmother & Mother are back with me in spirit again.
Enjoy your quilt.
