Thank you all so much. Gram wasn't as enthusiastic about quilting as she was about sewing but over the last few years all she's done is mending. She still mends when my Dad and Uncles bring her things but that's about it. She was born at the tail end of the depression and the only quilting she'd ever done was layering whole cloth with various scraps, zig-zaging and then tying that top with an old, wornout blanket and a sheet before binding with the purchased satin binding. It was never fancy but I'll always treasure the memories. She did start a SBS but never finished so I when she gave me those squares, I decided that I would finish some of the blocks and have both of my DD's finish a few blocks so there was a multigenerational quilt top when we were finished. Still haven't found time for it yet, though.
