    That is so beautiful!! Makes me feel guilty about my Grandmother's Dresden blocks that I have in a box. Started trying to finish by hand and set it aside for other projects. She had the plates made from feedsack fabrics that my Mother and Aunt identified as their dress fabric in school. Using muslin blocks to applique them.

    That is absolutely beautiful. What a treasure to receive on such a special day. I would imagine it will have a special place in her heart.

    Wonderful. Isn't it great to have these handed down quilts to hand down to others. So many family members involved. Lucky you, IMHO.
    peace
