    Oh WOW! Your Grandmother does/did beautiful work! As zozee said, I think the forest green that is in most of the blocks would make a great sashing. You are a very thoughtful granddaughter to be thinking of doing this for her. I wish I could have done something like this with my grandmother.

    WOW! What beautiful work! That is a lot of, to me, perfectly done applique work and blanket stitching. Really well done. What a treasure. Kudos to you Cedar for the plans to have them all put together while your grandmother is still here to really enjoy them.

    Those blocks look like she may have planned a “Baltimore album quilt”. Check with Google to see many ideas for arrangement of your blocks. I do agree that if you are using sashing that dark green ot tonal to blend with your backgrounds would be very pretty. The colors chosen would look very cheerful in a BAQ.

    I agree with Madame Kelly. Those definitely look like they are for a Baltimore Album type of quilt.

    The first thing I would do is get them out of those cardboard boxes. Cardboard can leach acid onto the fabric and discolor it if it isn't acid-free.

    Such lovely blocks, and yes I think two different quilts. Although I like the dark green as sashing for the fall colors quilt, I think I would go with the pink>red sashing for the strictly floral one. It's so springlike I think dark sashing would not do the florals justice.

    Beautiful applique blocks! They will be a pleasure to work into a quilt with your grandmother.

    Such a great "save" of handwork! Hope you enjoy the process together.
