I am new to this message board and would like to introduce myself as a new quilter. And share with everyone the project I will be working on for who knows how long! I recently "acquired" my mother-in-laws cotton fabric collection of over 50 years. My plan is to make her 6 children and 23 grandchildren a quilt "like grandma would have made them. " She's 88 years old and about as excited as I am for her fabric to be used in this way. I started with four 12" piles of prints and ended up renting a trailer to haul "contrasts, edges and backings" from Idaho to Texas. It all needs to be washed as grandma had a "friend" eating candy in her material...... I would LOVE anyone's input. Should I make these 29 quilts all the same or different? Should I make them to be used or as wall hangings? What would YOU do?
