Grandmother's quilt

I finished my grandmother's quilt today. I was going to wait and bind it later but I decided I wanted to have one completed project for the weekend.

Now that I have this quilt out of the frame I can finish the Hoffman quilt - time's running out.

I worked on the Dresden plates yesterday and I only have 6 more to go before I can start putting it together.

My Grandmother's quilt

When I was making Erin's Easter dress I was digging in a drawer and found these squares that my grandmother made. There wasn't enough for a quilt so i had to make 4 more to go with them just to get enough for a twin quilt. So I spent yesterday putting it together and this is what I came up with.


Then I decided I would quilt it like my grandmother quilted (except on the machine). Knowing I couldn't get my lines even I had to make a ruler. I drew out what I wanted and cut it out of a piece of plexi-glass. Before long I'll have a good supply of rulers.
