A Quilt for Grandma...

I love scrappy quilts.

I especially love getting scrap fabrics from family. 

The colors and textures of the fabric remind me of that person they even smell like their homes.

 

I was thrilled when my Mother in law called and said that she was cleaning out her sewing room and asked if I wanted some scraps. 

 

Yes! Yes! Yes! 

I was so excited! 

 When I pulled out the scraps I was amazed at how well they all went together. 

 

They were all lovely reds, greens, tans, golds, and creams.

A few years ago she gave me red quilt binding that matched the fabrics perfectly. 

I decided to make a Square Dance Quilt for her Birthday. 

It has been so much fun to work on. I machine quilted in the ditch and in the boarders then hand stitched with pearl cotton in the blocks. 

My kids said the quilt looks like Grandma's house. 

Happy Birthday Grandma!
