That's ok. I thought you'd probably named it yourself. I've never seen the block with that name before. But I like it and I loved her, so if you don't mind I'm sticking with my plan of table toppers with this design.
I am honored to have you use it that way! It is a great way for me to remember my grandma. I have always been fascinated with how many V names there were in that generation. My other grandma was Leora and those were names I had never heard anywhere else til I was an adult. I love the old fashioned names. My grandpa had twin cousins named Viola and Violet. There were a lot of V names back then. Flossie was an elderly lady I used to visit. And Hattie was the name of a lady I used to take care of. I loved her name. We have drawn on family names and I have asked alot of people for names. I just think the old fashioned names make these quilt blocks special. :mrgreen:
