Thank you everyone. I have two of these treasures washed now and they are even prettier! I will post some more pictures when I unpack the rest of the tops. I found a bunch of pattern pieces and her designs too. Some are made out of old newspapers. I got a kick out of the old newspapers, some as old as 1917! This woman was a wonderful quilter. The stitching is so even and even after washing there was no loose places! I bet the quilts that she made were so beautiful. The first picture of the GFG quilt the blocks are about 1 inch!!! That is a lot of blocks. I haven't measured it yet but I think it is a double size. I do feel like she is watching me enjoy these. : )
