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.
Quilting professionally or just for personal use is a rewarding art form being enhanced by the imagination of young and old.

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.
