    How about a Sampler Quilt? Then you can try out a different pattern for each square. Get a book of Depression quilts or the history book from your state or hers and see what was popular then. And to think you are holding the same pieces of material your grandmother did,you have much in common.

    I think I'm going with Grandmother Fan since the fabrics seem to "fit" this pattern. It was suggested I paper piece and not having ever done that I watched a video on youtube. It seems using this method makes a huge difference in the way the block turns out. The person making the video said she used plain copy paper so is this what I should use? Found a pattern online but it's in 2 pieces so do I turn it into one piece and go from there? I'm really excited about learning how to do this!

    Not sure what you mean by 2 pieces? As far as what kind of paper, copy paper will work fine as long as you keep your stitch really short so it will like "perforate" the paper.

    Grandma was very talented! My aunt picked up her drawing and craft skills and I took the quilting skills. Every quilt I've made is very special to me since you have to put your heart and soul into it.....along with blood, sweat and tears. LOL!!
