I am in love with this quilt. This quilt started with a small piece of fabric passed down to me from my Grandmother. I am not an avid paper pieces but I decided to work on a small project using her fabric and fabrics from my scrap bag (which were left overs from Grandma, Mom, my sister and mine). I was initially thinking of making a small wall hanging but really wanted to make a special quilt using Grandma Marge’s fabric. I decided on a solid blue of centered border with a peek of green. The green small border was all I had left of that color and I think it added a nice “sparkle” to the quilt. What I had the most fun with was the quilting. This is going to be my “show quilt” for the next year, so I put extra effort into the design and quilting. My Mother was able to come to the first quilt show that it was hanging in – this was a special treat for me as I had named the quilt after her mother, Marge.
