Your grandmother had a flair for color for so long ago, they are very festive, she must have been a lively individualist!
What a precious gift and privilege to get to finish them for her, she would be so thrilled to know they have arrived at such a place of honor where they can be showcased for all to see. The third one is my favorite. Enjoy the stroll down your generational familial memory lane!

You have three wonderful treasures from your family. They are so pretty & I know you will treasure them always. My Mom hand sews all of her quilt tops & I not only love to watch her, but I will be so happy to have them some day too. I am so glad you have shared your treasuer with all of us.

I especially love the 3rd one, I have been working on crumb blocks and I like this pattern with the 9 patch and 3 stripes. Maybe I will work this out with my leftover blocks since I am sure I will have leftovers.
