    oooooo, would love to see a picture of it when it is done! I used a whole piece of white fabric for the background.

    What wonderful quilts. I am sure they will be treasured for their beauty and as a memory of their Grandmother. They will also have, a treasured reminder of a wonderful Aunts' love.

    My sister made her children quilts from my dad's old work clothes and I wish I had been that clever. They turned out so neat. I plan to show her your quilts because we have quite a lot of my mom's dresses, etc. My mom, by the way, is still with us and about to turn 96!! Isn't that wonderful??!!!!
    You have to be a wonderful, thoughtful person to do this!! Congratulations on this wonderful endeavor!!!

    I can see a lot of love went into those quilts. They're all gorgeous and I'm sure much appreciated. What a special gift for your aunt's grandchildren.
