    Well worth your effort as it's a wonderful quilt that you have the pleasure of knowing was lovingly worked on by both you and your grandmother.

    This is timely. I'm about to start on one from my husband's great grand mother. Thanks for sharing - perhaps I won't have that problem, thanks to you.

    I am amazed at the vibrant colors in your GFG, especially in a quilt started years ago. You are so fortunate to have that quilt and did a wonderful job finishing it, even if you did have a blip in the process.

    It's beautiful and you will treasure it. I hope to finish my GFG in 3 1/2 years (by the time I graduate college) if not by then, well, then eventually! But your's will be a treasured heirloom because your grandma started it. Enjoy it!

    What a lovely story. It's truly an heirloom quilt and just beautiful. Grandma would be thrilled.

    it's beautiful- remember - there are no quilt police and if someone acts like it, they don't understand the process or the love that goes into a project.
