    Your story is so touching. The quilts are beautiful. What a wonderful thing to do for these grandchildren. Dorothy must be smiling from ear to ear.

    All are just beautiful and filled with love and memories of their grandmother. What a wonderful gift you have made for each. :)

    The quilts and your words are so special - lasting memories for you and your Aunt's grandchildren, and family history to be passed down.

    You have done a fantastic job, I love everyone of them and the special labels are precious. These are truly family treasures. The patterns are perfect and I just love the colors of her dresses, as said before, GREAT JOB!

    Lovely quilts and such a nice gift to each of your cousins. I am sure they will treasure these and pass them on to their family.
    A coincidence is that my mother's only sister was also named Dorthy and her husband was named Harry. How strange life seems to be.
