Oh, I love your Grandmother's blocks and what a treasure you will have when all finished! I have a quilt top that I have had since 1968 and keep doing a little bit on it. You have inspired me to keep working on it...

There were a couple of quilt blocks that were almost done, so I finished them, now got them in a good soak because all old linens are a little yellow. I have 5 more to finish and will take it with me when we go to Mpls this weekend for Renessaince. Will show you all family picture when we get out outfits on.

Very nostalgic :) I love the older looks.
