Kaye, one of the gals in our neighborhood quilting group, was given some old quilts by her sisters that her mother had made years ago. They were in very bad shape with fabric that was in no way going to be totally restored. She painstakingly took them apart and used some of the blocks to give to the family members who had received these quilts originally. The above 3 photos show blocks from one of the quilts. The piece with 4 blocks will go to one of the nephews and the 2 smaller pieces will go to his young children. The pieces don't look crooked in person....we just didn't have them hanging right for the quick photos we were doing (and the bigger one will have a couple more hanging loops added to it, too). Kaye managed to get the label off the big quilt and has that on the back of the larger piece, too. I'm sure Kaye's family appreciates the time she so lovingly invests in this so they can still have a piece of their dearly beloved grandmom in their hearts and homes.
