I always put a label on the quilts thatI give away but hadn't thought about it for this one. Guess maybe I should do it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]286354[/ATTACH]

Beautiful quilt. I love the embroidered ones. My Mom embroidered blocks for herself and several of my sisters in her 70"s. I put one set into a quilt for one of my six sisters and another sister did the others. I recently embroidered tractor blocks for two quilts.

Your grandson sure knew what he was doing when he gave those blocks to you to work up - you've created a masterpiece from them! The fabrics you chose to go with them and the quilting are all just marvelous.
