Since you all enjoy pictures so much, I thought I'd share these. They were done by my Great-grandma. At least, I assume they were. They were in her house when she died and she did make quilts. They are all done by hand. The blocks measure 17ish and are not all perfectly square. I have no clue what I will do with them.

Beautiful! What a treasure.
Are you going to make a quilt with them?

What a treasure! It looks like there's plenty of room to square them up. Seems like they need to be put in a quilt for a bed.

They would make a beautiful wall hanging and would make a great memorial of your grandmother!! What a nice keepsake!

Looks like you can but them down and put on some sashing and turn them in to a family heirloom/treasure.
Her (DGG) work is beautiful.

I "see" them in a quilt but for right now I'm too chicken to start cutting on them. Maybe after I do a few more practice things.

They are beautiful. It would be wonderful to do a quilt and save as a treasure for generations to come

Those are a true treasure!

You are so fortunate to receive
these beautiful blocks, made by
the hands of your Grand Mother!! :D
They will make a lovely quilt top.
Please share more pictures when you
decide what you will be doing with them.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Gorgeous blocks :) Grandma did good. A wall hanging would look great using those :)

Ohhhh .. Those are sweet lisa! I love how the stars are floating in the center. So many of the old found blocks of yesteryear had them running all the way to the edge making it impossible to square them up and too wierd to try and set. Lucky You!

I would try to square them up as best you can and make a quilt from them. The blocks are beautiful and scrappy quilts are just the best.

all my grandma gave us was strudel, and we already ate that. LOL!

What an awesome treasure you have there!!!! :D :D :D

What a wonderful treasure you have there. It will be Beautiful what ever you do wtih them.

Beautiful!!! Please keep us updated on what you do with them.

oooooo those are pretty. i sure wish i could do that block...

LOL! I wish I could do that block, too! All those points together yet still pointy is way beyond me. I'm still on "beginner blocks".

What a wonderful treasure! By all means, make them into a quilt - someday your own great-grandchildren will have an heirloom to treasure that unites you and your great-grandmother. There's a nice article in the Sept issue of American Quilter about finishing old or antique blocks into quilts.

Lucky you! Beautiful blocks.

those are just beautiful! I have Sunbonnet Sue blocks that my Grannie made when I was young. I have made more Sue blocks and split the ones Grannie made up to make lapquilts for my sisters. I should have those done by Christmas this year. Next year I'll start on the ones for my dd's. That way everyone gets one of Grannie's squares in something that hopefully they will treausure.

Beautiful blocks!!!!! I can't wait to see what you do with them!!! :D

Great idea!! Maybe I should share my blocks around the family in some kind of smaller project for all the great grandkids. Hmmmmmmmm..... more to think about.

pretty stars...... nice

Pretty fabrics! Love the pattern!

I have churn dash blocks from my mother...hand pieced. Thinking I might "some day" make 4 somethings from them so each of her grandchildren could have a remembrance.

Grandmothers ufos
 

hey, this looks familiar. I also have ufos of my Grandmother, Mother , and oldest sister. they all had too many ideas. I have the same pattern done in navy and white, some are straight edged and others are really curvy. I have tried to set them together with navy and red don't know if I like it or not. Yours are beautiful.

What a wonderful treasure you have! I'm so glad for you. Leave it a while until you feel more confident, and then proceed. It will be a cherished quilt when you have it all done!

Wow, this post is a blast from the past. I started in in 2009. Those blocks have since bacame a dresser scarf and table toppers for my night stands. The project is far from perfect. The blocks were not very flat and I didn't unsew them, but all in all I enjoy seeing them in my bedroom.

Lisa: This is exactly how I became a quilter. I found quilt blocks and a quilt top that were my grandmother's. I was too nervous to do them myself so I had someone (who became a good friend) finish them for me. Then I ran to a fabric shop and took my first class. That was 4 years ago. I've made something like 30 quilts since then. So be warned. It could happen to you!
