    What a wonderful job she did and so glad you were "allowed" to quilt it for her. One for each grandchild - that's an awesome goal at her age. I think that's wonderful. My grandmother made each of us girls hand embroidered state & bird blocks - never got the tops put together, but we got them after she died. I know how precious they were to me and I am sure each child will treasure theirs. Cudos to your grandmother and you!
