This is a photo of a framed quilt block I have on my sewing room wall. It is from the 19th century, pieced by my great-grandmother by hand. Only the center shows due to matting and frame - it's actually about 12 X 12 inches, edged in off-white (I believe) muslin.

That is wonderful. What a great treasure you have. I only met my Grandmother once. She lived in Nebraska and I lived in California. I have a vague memory of her.
You on the other hand have something to remind you of her.
I agree with Craftybear. If you have a picture of her it would be nice to put it with the square on in a seperate frame next to it.

Very nice! I have a quilt from my DGGM and I'm so thankful that I do because she just passed away last Fri. morning. She would have been 100 yrs. young this May 30th. I'll treasure this quilt always!
