I have about 8 of my grandma's quilt tops that I am doing. She hand pieced them and cut out her shapes using scissors and sandpaper & cardboard templates. She didn't use the best fabric. I even found an old table cloth that she had cut some shapes out of. But she wanted each of her kids to have a quilt from her. She has dementia and is in a nursing home now. but I will finish each one and send them on their way. =)
