A few weeks ago I posted a picture and asked you all for help. I was given a bag with quilt blocks that had been started by someone in 1983. She pasted away 3 years ago and her husband just now found the quilt blocks. Their daughter is now getting married in Oct. and I was asked to finish the quilt as a present for their daughter.
Below is the quilt and the picture of the gray boarder is a dragonfly. That is how she signed all of her projects, so I did dragonfly's all around the boarder. The heart is what is in all the white blocks and she did that part as well.

Thank you all. I could not have done this with out you and your guidance. I have never done nor heard of QAYG. With your help not only did I learn something new, but I was able to keep my word that I could finish this for him. Thank you again.
