Quilt tops my grandma made 50+ years ago

I just received three hand pieced quilt tops made by my grandma--another family member is moving and ran across them. Thought you might enjoy them even thought they aren't done yet:o

What a treasure you have ... and thankfully your family member sent them your way, rather than all the other decisions that could have been made.

How wonderful to receive a treasure like this. I hope you finish them and display them proudly.

I like them all... but the first one is my favorite

These are wonderful quilts. You are so blessed to have them!

Heather Hayllar 06-24-2012 04:31 PM

What a wonderful find! Enjoy "finishing" them :)

Tweety2911 06-24-2012 05:26 PM

What a blessing these quilts are! They are all beautiful!

kensington 06-24-2012 05:33 PM

That 3rd one is mezmerisng. Are those middle squares a block of crazy quilting? WOW... Love them all. I had a blessing like that once. I got two hand pieced tops and 17 blocks my great granny made the year I started making quilts. Which was decades after she had passed away.

God keeps good secrets!

They are priceless. Number three is my favorite, although I like them all. Finish them, then enjoy them.

Such a wonderful gift - what do you plan to do with them?

This came as such an unexpected surprise that I haven't had time to really think about plans. Grandma made all her own patterns so don't really have the names of any of them.

Neesie 06-24-2012 07:59 PM

Oh, I love those! :thumbup: What a blessing, to find these!!!

audsgirl 06-24-2012 09:07 PM

They are all wonderful! I love the patterns and the colors. Such a treasure.

Pickles 06-24-2012 09:23 PM

So Beautiful what a treasure to have !

earthwalker 06-24-2012 09:27 PM

Do you recognize any of the fabrics as scraps from clothing Grandma, Mom or even you wore? That's one of the fun things about old quilts, IMO!

chips88 06-25-2012 03:53 AM

Baloonatic 06-25-2012 06:08 AM
