If you sew at all you should be able to get those blocks together with the Quilt In A Day instructions. They are usually very good and clear. Perhaps you can become a quilter and continue her legacy.

Pictures were posted so go back and you will find them. Beautiful work and they should be finished in one way or another.

I don't have anything to add to the wonderful comments already posted.

I also inherited my mom's Sunbonnet Sue pieces. She had the pieces cut out and was never able to finish the quilt. I look at the pieces and am reminded of all the sewing she did for us girls when we were at home. I recognize much of the material as being scraps from our dresses.

Hopefully you can find someone in your area to use these to make a quilt, or a couple of lap quilts. I encourage you to frame a Sue and a Sam. Wonderful keepsakes that you will enjoy later in life.

God Bless.

You could check your local quilt shop or Your local Senior Center. When I was trying to downsize my stash, I gave bags of fabric, books, yarns etc. to a local Senior Center. They use a lot of it for their Xmas Craft show, and also I would check you High School, they might have economic classes, or a Boys and Girls Club, might be interested also.
I think the Sunbonnet blocks are beautiful.

Your blocks are absolutely precious and being made by Mom all the more so. My mom quilted (somewhat) and she, too, has dementia. I finished one of her quilts and cherish it.

Check out the Greater Hartford Quilt Guild: http://www.ghqg.org They can probably point you in the right direction. Also, check out the local quilt stores (usually under "Fabric" in the yellow pages, or Google Hartford CT quilt stores).

Welcome to the Board. I hope you decide to hang onto the blocks (even if you never make them into a quilt) as they are a piece of your mom. Please, don't sell/give them away - one day you may regret not having this link to your mom.

Let us know what you do with the blocks. Take care...
