Oh my !!! What a touching story. I suppose the heats of every quilter on this thread went pitty pat when they read it. I think this is why we all quilt. To have our family members remember us in such a momentous way as you have your grandma.

Bless yor heart for doing this for her, so her memory will be charished. And, her story told with love. Your story is forever entwined with hers now.

I want to thank you for taking the time to share this beautiful story with us. What a wonderful idea to make quilts for your family using her blocks. The other part of this is that you could be inspired by this wonderful person enough to want to share her with your family and then with all of us.
Welcome from Argentina. Glad you stopped "lurking" and decided to share. I along with the rest of the forum was touched by this loving gift. Please share some more when you can.
