This is for my wonderful MIL that is an avid crossword puzzle fan. Sadly, she is losing her memory. This is a crossword with the names of her family - husband, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.

The letters were cut from a piece of moda fabric that had the letters printed on squares. I have lots of leftover, but will use them for something.

I did find a website (puzzlemaker.com) that sets up the crossword puzzle for you after you put in the words and clues. I use this at school sometimes.

All I did was plot out the quilt on graph paper, and did one row at a time. The letter squares were 3" so I cut the black fabric into 3" squares also.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Crosswords always remind me of my mother, as she was always doing them. Yours is really neat! That's a great thing for you to do for your MIL! Nice!
