You have brought tears to my eyes thinking about the immensity of the work and creativity and love you've put into those quilts. The notes you wrote really helped to personalize the quilts even more. It's just wonderful to see how caring some people can be and I'm sure your aunt would be thrilled.

What lovely quilts, they are so pretty and special.
I would love to do this with my DMIL's blouses, I recently received some of her fabric, she made a few quilts but the thing she made the most was her blouses and her grandkids would be able to reconize many of them.

GREAT IDEA!!!!! :thumbup:

OMG - I started to cry when I read this - how special - you have really made a legacy of your aunt/grandma - what a wonderful way to remember a great woman.
