I didn't actually know Grandma very well because we lived far away from each other. Although she was a dedicated quilter, I didn't start quilting until after her death, so it was not something that we shared. However, a few years after she passed, my aunt told my mom that she had found a quilt top in Grandma's things and she wasn't sure what to do with it. My mom told her to send it to me. When the top arrived, I could see that it was all hand-pieced, so I assume that it was put together after Grandma was getting nursing care and could no longer use her sewing machine. I bought backing and batting and hand quilted it. I thought about Grandma a lot while I was working on it. It felt special to have this joint project with her even though she had been gone for years. I sent the completed quilt back to my aunt. When my mom visited my aunt, the quilt was displayed on her guest room bed.
