I hope this helps. I did not know a thing about grain lines when I first began sewing, but asked for help and learned. This is what is so wonderful about this board, there is help abound.

Do you have German roots by any chance? Oma is what I used to call my Grannies in Germany. :)

Oh, in my family, my mother is known as "Jeddah," which is Arabic for grandmother. My folks used to live in Saudi Arabia and they picked up the name there. It helped to distinguish her from the other grandmother -- both grandmothers lived in the the same city with the grandchildren.

I had an Oma and Opa from Halverson/Elburg area of Holland. They were my great-grandparents. Ma and Pa were my grandparents who came to America in 1903 on their honeymoon and never went back. They lived across the street from us all my life. My Pa was the oldest of 21 children. I love shocking people with that fact....and the Duggars think they have a big family, LOL. My parents just celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving Day.
What wonderful memories you just brought me.

I made enough half square triangles for a full size quilt in one long afternoon - that includes cutting, sewing, ironing and squaring up the blocks.
