It is wonderful to see this. My grandma and great-grandma both quilted.
Their corners did not always match, the fabrics were a smorgasbord, but they were warm and well loved.

When my grandma passed away all I wanted was a quilt...I got quilt blocks (kinda - they are circles I was told both grandmas had worked on them)

Part of the reason I started quilting was to practice and gain confidence in order to put these together. Recently my mom and I decided this would be a special project to finish this summer. Which will be even more special because it will be 4 generations of working together on one quilt.

To me nothing says love like a quilt. When you wrap up in them it is like a hug from generations past.
