Oh my what beautiful treasures these are. I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing. Her memory will certainly live on in the amazing work she put into these beautiful quilts. Thank you so much for posting these pictures.

Thanks so much for all the comments. :)
Sure! LOL! :wink:
Actually, we don't (can't) have kids, so I honestly don't know yet what'll happen to the quilts later on. That's something I've got to think about, especially since nobody else in the family has any interest in them. :?

I'll treasure these quilts forever. 8-)

Really appreciate the time you took to share your heirloom quilts with us. I especially love looking at vintage quilts/quilting. Even though you don't have children of your own, perhaps you will find a young "apprentice" who you can entrust your collection, but I am sure you will have many, many, happy years of enjoying your quilts. Thanks again.
