Billy, what a wonderful thing to do. You will probably learn so much. My Grandma was so full of quilt lore, my favorite one was if you got blood on your quilt you had to throw it over the house to keep the bad spirits away from the quilt. She also knew a lot of ways to make the piecing easier. But, she never would chain piece, she made all her blocks one at a time. Good luck and remember to enjoy yourself.
