I think it's wonderful!!! I would love to have something made by any of my aunts, or my grandmother. I have a couple of little things, but not much. I envy those of you who have whole quilts or other items sewn by your women ancestors.

You have done a wonderful job with your aunt's blocks. Was that a peek at the border in the top picture? It will be such a great tribute to your aunt's memory.

What old is new again. The red and tourquise colors are very popular. Your blocks are so pretty.

Beautiful. So great to have this as an heirloom in remembering your aunt. Good work. She is watching you with a smile on her angel face. ;)

It's great! and I bet she'd be so pleased that you honoured her work by assembling and finishing it.

What a great tribute to your Aunt to have this quilted. Sampler quilts are the greatest :thumbup:

The quilt is beautiful. You arranged all those different blocks nicely. It will be a work of art! Will you get to keep it?
