I call it, "The Fabric of My Life". It wasn't finished on 2 edges & I left it as it was. OHHH the memories of her & the tears I shed in love. As a child I watched her as she patiently pieced. That's how I learned to quilt. I truly enjoy seeing the finished quilts hanging on one of my quilt ladders my husband made for me.
Have a wonderful tomorrow.
I love your answer! Grandmas teaching their grandkids to quilt- awesome!
