    They are beautiful, you should make a quilt for yourself and when you are missing her the most you can rap the quilt around you and it would be like your mom is hugging you.

    They are very pretty. Are you going to make a quilt from them?

    When I lost my Momma, my eyes just leeked. They never gave me warning.. My grief was more that I could understand.

    It would be such a comfort to have something that she held in her hand, made of her own work..

    What a wonderful treasure !!

    Those are beautiful!
    That is such a wondeful thing you have there.
    I would frame them so I could see them on a daily bases.

    Chairjogger,,,I'm right there with you. Same thing happened to me when I lost my mom too.

    Those are beautiful blocks and what a great memory of her. I agree with several others about making a quilt to wrap up in when you need a hug from mom

    What a wonderful remembrance of your Mother, things she made with her own hands.

    My Beloved Mother has been gone for over 30 years & I still miss her deeply. The thing about Mothers is that they are /were so very special, we are / were only given just one to treasure!

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful part of yours!

    I'm so sorry about your Mom. She did beautiful work. My Mom has been gone for over three years now and the last thing she made me was a cable kint ponchoe.

    I think you should try and get ahold of the guild find out when the blocks were made embroder the date on them and put them into a quilt so that you can always feel close to mom. And she did a wonderful job on them also. Thanks for sharing.
