11 days later - i am finished w/ the quilt top for my mom. Brief story: My grandmother cut out all these diamond shapes and was going to make a tumbling block quilt. She died in 1945 before ever finishing the quilt. My mom was 7 yrs old at the time.

Several years ago, my aunt gave me a bag w/ all these diamonds and i had intended to complete the tumbling block quilt. Last summer, I found this pattern that i like because it features all the vintage fabrics much better.

My plan is to give this to my mom in June when my sister comes in for a visit. Good thing mom doesn't hang on message boards because this will be a total surprise

that is really great you finished your grandmas quilt

beautiful! Have a box of tissues handy for your Mom!

Your quilt is beautiful. I also like the key chains.

Your quilt turned out wonderful. Love your design choice. Beautiful.:)

How very sweet hopefully your mom will appreciate the thought, work and effort you put into this. Truly a loving gesture.

What a beautiful quilt. She is going to love it. Those key chains are darling.

Very lovely!

She will enjoy it - and hopefully i'll have it quilted by then!! If not, she'll get it and then i'll bring it back home to finish.

Awesome! Your quilt is beautiful and your mom is going to be so surprised. I love what you have done.
