    Oh my what a wonderful gift.. It's because of my grandma that I quilt too.. Love of quilting will be a life long gift. How lucky you are.. and oh yes, the quilt is marvelous. How wonderful it will be to have, to use gently, and to pass on the joy of quilting and the gift of the quilt to your children, and perhaps grandchildren... Your grandma would be proud, she has started something wonderful!

    How lovely it is, and what a treasure you have. Every time you use it, you will think of your precious grandmother, and it will bring you happy memories.

    There's a lotta love in that quilt! How wonderful that you appreciate it and will carry on such a wonderful skill. I wish I knew your grandmother - it would be interesting to hear about making the quilt from her perspective. Very very beautiful and priceless.

    What a beautiful quilt your Grandmother left for you. I am sure you will use it sooner than you think. Time moves very quickly. Enjoy it and her thoughts of you while making it.
