I am finishing my Grandmothers SBS that she started in the late 1920's and my DD and DGS wife are helping me....there was bad feeling associated with this quilt back in the 30's because evidently my grandmother insisted that each of her daughters do two blocks.....i remember as a child my aunt calling the quilt top "that d---- thing" but it is a joy now, and maybe it will welcome to the world my greatgrandaughter some day in the future.

the top was completed, sashings, borders, etc. in the 1930's and DD found a print that goes with it for the binding. The backing will be cream kona and i will quilt it the way it is marked on several of the blocks (lots of luck that the marking will ever come out)
