I will quilt it for sure! I am scared to mess it up, but I will quilt it! I will be doing some donation quilts next week and think, once I get that first one in..I should be ok.

Hmm...maybe this one should be my first?? I have been looking at it half the day. Can't keep my eyes off it.

Yes indeed. I think she is trying to tell me something. I have only recently started quilting..only have done two! She quilted until she couldn't quilt anymore.

Finish it and think of her and the fact that you are working on something that she worked on too. Will make you feel so good!

I will, I promise! And soon too!

Thats beautiful, I think its cool.. to find something like that.. with your name on it that grma made special for you.. finish it.. put a tag on it.. who made it for you.. yr you finished it.. so someday your grandkids will open a hope chest and there it will be with there name pinned on it... How priceless is that.... something to be cherrished for years to come...

She passed in the 90's.

I just thought I would share. Maybe one day I will get the nerve to quilt it myself.
Oh you really should and soon. I am in the process of binding )my least favorite thing about quilting), a quilt top that my Great Grandmother made for me when I was very young. Had it stored all these years in my cedar chest. It is so cute and such a shame that I have waited this long to get it done, all it ever needed was the backing and binding. LAZY me!!! Get yours finished so you can enjoy it.
