I just finished this full-size Grandma's Flower Garden quilt tonite. My 80 yr old aunt hand-pieced this during the 50s or 60s and gave it to me about 10 yrs ago :oops:
I added the border so that it will fit a full-size bed (my bed is queensize) She doesn't know i finished it, i'm going to take it to her over President's day weekend on my bed [ATTACH=CONFIG]166774[/ATTACH] I hate how CFLs change the color of stuff [ATTACH=CONFIG]166775[/ATTACH] Local Project Manager [ATTACH=CONFIG]166776[/ATTACH] |

The other quilt i finished for her, she said she was disappointed that it didn't fit her bed. That's why i added the border on it. |

She told me once that it is an honor for her to look at a quilt and know that we worked on it together. |
