Is my idea too selfish?

I haven't read all the posts but I would never give away scraps from my grandmother to anyone outside the family. Maybe not to anyone but me. I have some blocks my mother made and I'm in the process of putting them together with some of mine. I will for sure keep that quilt. My family can have them after I die.

I think there is nothing wrong with keeping this last box and making something for yourself. You and your grandmother have given enough to the community and are definitely allowed to keep something just for you. Take care.

No, I don't think you are wrong to want to use them for a quilt for you and her grandchildren. I think it would be a nice way to honor her, to keep the fabric/quilt in the family. Maybe you can use some other fabrics to make charity quilts and donate them in her name.

Absolutely not. She obviously wanted you to have them and by making them into a special quilt for you and/or your kids, grand kids, etc. I think it's a great idea. I think you will regret it if you don't keep them and make yourself something special. My condolences on your loss. I never knew my grandmother, so I think it's so special that you had her in your life, and that you shared your love of quilting.
