She says she made it for her Grand daughter who is now 14 and she will give it to her when she is married and old enough to take care of it. Linda also kept a journal of the process to leave her grand child. What a wonderful gift!I have seen these blocks up close. They are all hand pieced and each one is perfection!

My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids. Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful. Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Wow, her quilt turned out so beautiful! I love the colors! How is she going to quilt it? I'm hoping it will be hand quilted...
Caron:
It will DEFINITELY be hand quilted!
Are you making one?
It was 11 years in the making:-)! Hope the quilting won't take that long.

Wow... a gorgeous DJ. I like the way the alternate setting triangles are in b/g fabric. The whole thing kinda 'floats'! Nifty. Thank you for sharing.
Oooh I really love the colors in this one...
