to me this looks like my stash (but not batiks)
I haven't met this lady so I can't really say for certain but I think it is probably a little bit of each. But I have no explanation at all for those 62 blocks!! I spent a lot of time last night trying to finish going through everything - STILL not finished! I do think I've found all the blocks, though and there are a ton. I'll try to photograph more of them later, but I have more sorting and pressing to do first.

very nice job, it's fun to make a top and use scraps. it makes it feel like a "freebie"

What a an inheritance! Surely, one of the finishished quilts will be raffled for a great cause. Keep us posted.
