My Mother
Me
My Daughter
My Granddaughter

I hope my granddaughter will cherish it.

What a neat idea and to put names on the quilt will make it even more special...very creative of you.
I bet while working on a quilt that your moms hands had already touch was something you could never describe to anyone....cherish those memories.

Sue what a great treasure you have with that picture-so sweet and how fun would that be to recreate the same quilt.
So wish someone in my family would have quilted.
