Velvet Crazy Quit

jzaaboo ,You got me thinking. I have a velvet crazy quilt top pieced and embroidered by my grandmother and aunt that must be at least as old as your grandmother's blocks. My grandmother died when I was three years old also. My only memory of her was her giving me money from a can.

I apologize if this got posted two times. Computer is a little wonky today.

This is a great story, a wonderful way to connect with your personal history, and a superb gift for your aunt. I bet she'll cry from happiness when you give her the finished block!

What a special tribute to someone special! It would be so easy to 'pitch' such items-but they are so worth saving. I know that they will be appreciated by those who receive them.
