Grandma's window quilt blocks
 
1 Attachment(s)
I had this window frame from my grandmother's house they torn down years ago but never knew what to do with it. Last time I was home Mama gave me a lot of Grandma's quilt blocks..They are so old and holes in them so can't really be used as a quilt..then I got this idea and made this and hung it in my sewing room..What you think?

What a fabulous idea! That's a great way to show off the blocks and the window frame!

What a wonderful keepsake! Great idea and I am sure your Grandma would be so happy that you cared enough to use her old window and her quilt blocks in this way.

Memories are not always in our minds - or one dimensional. This beautiful memory is on the wall, two dimensional, and lovely. I hope it makes you smile whenever you look at it!
