Velvet Crazy Quit
 
jzaaboo ,You got me thinking. I have a velvet crazy quilt top pieced and embroidered by my grandmother and aunt that must be at least as old as your grandmother's blocks. My grandmother died when I was three years old also. My only memory of her was her giving me money from a can.

I apologize if this got posted two times. Computer is a little wonky today.

What an honor to do something like that! Looks great! I know your Aunt will be so happy!

This is a great story, a wonderful way to connect with your personal history, and a superb gift for your aunt. I bet she'll cry from happiness when you give her the finished block!

How nice of you to pick up what will turn out to be family treasures. Grandma would be very proud of you.

What a special tribute to someone special! It would be so easy to 'pitch' such items-but they are so worth saving. I know that they will be appreciated by those who receive them.
