Your grandmother did a beautiful job piecing. And your quilting really enhanced your grandmother's hard work. Combined, you've created a beautiful heirloom. Enjoy!!! Congrats on making quilt of the week.

Beautiful Quilt!! I can only imagine the joy you felt as you hand quilted the quilt your GM hand pieced!! I sure you felt her presences. A labor of love. You should be proud and you now have a family treasure!!

I learned to quilt with my grandmother back when we did cardboard templates and only hand quilting. I am so lucky to have the quilt that we did together. It is one of my most cherished possessions. I'm sure you feel the same way.

What a fabulous heirloom- the work of two generations of women working on it over time and space. Such a labor of love.
