Very nice. It's nice you were able to spread "Grannie's" work around to the entire family.

As I study the picture of your precious quilt, I notice that you did cross-hatching for the quilting. I know some will probably snicker when I ask this lame question, but I want to know. Do you cross-hatch before appliqueing the Sues, or do you cross-hatch through everything after it is done, or do you go around the Sues? I told you it was a lame question. :oops: :oops: :oops:

There may have been a better way to do it but I did it like this cause it seemed most reasonable to me. Like I said this was my first and I taught myself as I went.
