I inherited all my SIL's quilting since she is no longer able to quilt. I found this handmade top in her stash. I am going to put a pink border on it with cornerstones and quilt it.
It will make a great quilt for my DGD when she learns her colors.
I will repost when (ever) I finish quilting it.

That is sooooo pretty. I love all the colors and the gingham checks. I agree with Girlfriend. You are lucky!

This is absolutely adorable, simple and a delight. But a pink border? May I suggest a yellow instead.

catladyquilts 01-02-2013 04:02 AM

what a beautiful top, I've never seen that fan design before. Lucky you.

Wow, what a great top...love the gingham...who woulda thunk??? So glad everyone has different ideas on putting things together!!!

lallyann 01-02-2013 04:53 AM

wow! That is so unique and beautiful! The colors are awesome! I think it looks like lots and lots of beautiful sunshines :) and that makes me smile :) I think a pink border will be nice. You certainly inherited a treasure.

debcavan 01-02-2013 04:59 AM

That is really cool with all the checks. Congrats.

That is an unusual grandmother's fan. A keeper.

The quilt tops that you got from your SIL are so very pretty. What wonderful treasures!

SheriR 01-02-2013 06:18 AM

I love it!! How fun to find it in your SIL's stuff. It makes me think I should work harder to finish my projects so my poor daughters don't have to finish them for me...

MamaBear61 01-02-2013 06:47 AM

That is a wonderful quilt. Be sure to show us the finished product. It will be perfect for your granddaughter.

mighty 01-02-2013 07:23 AM

Beautiful. I love gingham.

indiangirl 01-02-2013 08:17 AM

Wow that is beutiful.

dunster 01-02-2013 09:33 AM

Lovely quilt top, love the checks. The block looks like a drunkard's path with rays on one side. It's not quite grandmother's fan, but I can't find that variation of drunkard's path either. Original to your SIL? Perhaps she could name it drunkard's grandmother, LOL.

OH! I love love this...what a beautiful treasure!!

luvstoquilt 01-02-2013 10:19 AM

JuneBillie 01-03-2013 08:56 AM

That is so pretty, and cheerful. You have me wanting to buy some gingham.

solstice3 01-04-2013 04:20 AM

quite cute

AnnT 01-04-2013 04:52 AM

Great looking quilt. I love how they all look like suns! I agree that a yellow border would look good. Your dgd is a lucky girl.

wishfulthinking 01-04-2013 05:44 AM

What a lovely quilt! So sad that your sil can't quilt any more.

mary705 01-04-2013 07:51 AM

Very beautiful quilt. I agree with using a yellow for the border, it would tie in with the colors a little better than a pink, but that is only my opinion.

linda faye 01-04-2013 09:59 AM

Love the quilt! The colors are wonderful and bright. Inspiration for me to use my scraps and get busy this year.

cathyvv 01-04-2013 10:47 AM

I love this quilt! It's bright, simple and happy and - maybe most important - unusual enough to be noticed in a crowd! Your DGD will treasure it.

Rina 01-04-2013 11:49 AM

How lovely! I will be looking for the completed one.

debbieoh 01-04-2013 06:20 PM
