Those are beautiful. All three of them could easily go in the same room too! You should make one that has all those colors in it and turn the four of them into a collection! I would even go so far as to have a photo taken of them together and put their story on it.

I'm sorry for your losses but I'm sure they would be happy knowing you kept the quilty gene going. Those are some awesome treasures.
I don't know how I got going in quilting. I'm the only one in my family that quilts. I'm glad I did though. :thumbup:

those are beautiful! and I must have the quilting gene in me somewhere too! my great grandma on my mom's side, my grandma on my dad's side and her mother, my mom, and finally me. It's so great to have those treasures and to have a quilt from each generation!

Quilters on both sides of the family line.....you sure did get "the gene"! Those are wonderful treasures. Isn't it interesting how many women of *any* age love purples?!
My own quilting gene must have skipped about 5 generations because to the best of our knowledge, no one on either side back through grands (I'm 66) quilted, but a relative in the late 1700s did. We have one of her quilts, now in the Colonial Williamsburg Textile Museum, which they dated as being from 1780 or earlier. I taught my own mother how to quilt in the mid-1990s,
