What a wonderful project. I think I would cut the largest square or rectangle from the pieces and treat that like a center panel. Then cut the rest of the quilt pieces into squares, all the same size. Don't know how big from your pics. Any smaller pieces that are left over I would have framed for family members. I would then arrange the squares with pieced blocks of the same size from your fabric. I would do a quilt as you go, so you wouldn't loose any of your dggm's quilting. Quilt your blocks individually, then join to her already quilted blocks using sashing. I'm anxious to see other's suggestions!!

I just came across your post and it has been almost a year now--how is your progress coming? I know that my mother has a quilt that her grandmother made (circa 1930). I would hope that I could do the same for her as you are doing for your mom. She has a very special daughter.

This would be my game plan if I were to tackle this project.
1 make templates. This can be done several ways. You will want the leaves and the quilting designs. I appears this was a quilt with wreathes in the center and a vine around the edge.
2. Sketch and measure on paper. Make a plan. Layout on fabric
3. Appliqué
This is the kind of project that I love to do. The more time you take to measure, plan, observe the better the outcome.
