Yes I agree with barny the giver is the one blessed, and you also well be once you donate them, I hope you got her mothers name so that you can give her credit for making all those blocks. Her mother will be pleased about that I'm sure.

I was at a yard sale last year bought a beautiful dresden plate made in the 30's. Only damage/repair was where the binding had been replaced on one side. Total cost - $4. Nice to know great-grandmother's hard work was appreciated.

Sounds like a win/win. She wanted to move it and you will benefit and see that others do, too.

That is awesome! It's nice to see people do stuff like that. We call it "paying forward" and try to do something nice for someone else when we can. Have fun!
