Old quilt blocks
#1
I recently was "blessed" by a cousin who sent me some quilt blocks done by my grandmother who died in 1970. My cousin cut them out of a VERY used quilt. The blocks are little girls in sun bonnets. I have about ten blocks and I wondered if anyone had any ideas of what I can do with them. I am a very BEGINNER in the quilting world, I have just started to piece my first top so I'm nervous, even though they are practically rags, I treasure them and I don't want to ruin them even further. This is the only thing I own that belonged to my grandmother. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I would frame each block and put her name and any info you have on her and make a gift to others in the family. Truly a blessing for all to have some quilting heritage framed. SOmetimes it is better to frame older fabric because it may fall apart if handled too much. Good luck with whatever you decide.
