Hey Scrappy Mystery Train ladies. I did it!!! All 23 tops finished. Here are the last three and if you want to see them all, I made a Grandma Quilt album in my profile. There's a link in my signature line below. Each quilt is named for the grandchild that will receive it. You see they called me back to Idaho the end of September to care for my MotherInLaw who had taken a turn for the worse. While we were there she picked which quilt would go to each grandchild. She passed away October 4. Exactly eleven weeks after her sweetheart passed. Isn't life crazy? And so precarious.
I have to thank Judy again for this pattern. It was just what I needed, just when I needed it. All the quilts are so wonderful and the kids are all excited to receive them. (I promised them for Christmas.)

Sheri, What a great job you did. It will be one of those important family stories that will be handed down with the quilts, maybe for many generations. I love that she picked out where each quilt went because she saw something in each quilt that reminded her of that person. It is a good pattern, thanks Judy for introducing it.
