What an heirloom ! I understand why you treasure it besides being from your grandmother !
I counted the plates on the edge and 5 each way make the edge. Interesting -- May try that for a baby first.
Again - lovely ~

What a beautiful quilt! Please at least keep it out for display, if not to use. I am one that feels that you should use and enjoy quilts. Why save them...for someone else to toss aside or sell, or God forbid, throw away, when you are gone?

! What a beauty! I reminds me so much of one my grandmother also made for me (except that mine had yellow instead of pink). I'd post a picture but ufortunately all my grandmother's quilts were stolen from me by some very
unscrupulous movers a few years ago. Waaaaaaaaah! But seeing your beautiful quilt today brought a smile to my face, helping me remember my childhood quilt. Thank you so much for sharing!

Did you ever notice the old dresden plate quilts have a plain fabric in each plate. My sister has one on her bed in the nursing home that she made. I asked her what that meant. she said something about it is supposed to be a handle. I don't know if that is right.
