Today i emptied the bag of diamond shapes that my grandmother cut out before she died in 1945. My aunt gave me the bag. It looks like my grandmother was going to make Tumbling Blocks, but I don't think that pattern will show off the pieces she cut out to their best.

I was going to make Carpenter's Wheel blocks into a quilt to give to my mom (her mother cut out the diamond shapes & was only 7 when her mother passed away)

Weeelllll, I put together a 6 pointed star and it is 12 inches big!!! No Carpenter's Wheel, but i'll just make blocks of 6 pointed stars w/ sashing between each block

Monday - i'm heading to the quilt store, and I'm gonna get started over christmas break next week..

you can not bring her back but the thought will live through this quilt.

What a treasure! I'm sure whatever you make will serve as a wonderful remembrance!

What a wonderful keepsake this is going to be...

What wonderful memories your mother will have when you are finished.

Your Mom will cherish it forever. You are a great daughter.

Awww your Mom is going to love this quilt :D:D:D

Awesome!

What a wonderful idea. Your mother will be thrilled and will treasure it always.

That will be a keepsake for sure.
