It's nice to have "hand-me-downs"! You should write the quilts' stories down so your children will have them. Include a picture so they know what quilt you are talking about.

Wow!! There are many talented quilters in your family. Bet they are all glad someone is carrying the torch.

Quilting on both sides of the family, you had no chance. The quilts are all lovely and such treasures to have. I love the purple background in the double wedding ring.

The quilts are all beautiful. The second one is an amish dahlia, the pattern for it is on quilterscache.com. I wish I had the nerve to do a double wedding ring.

OMG so beautiful, what treasures you have. My grandmother quilted and all I have left of her work is one small piece of crazy quilt she never finished. I just put binding around it and use it as a cover over an antique trunk. I wish I had more of her work. My mom also quilts and she is still going strong. In fact she just sent me a pile of tops to FMQ for her. She loves piecing but hates the quilting part.
