Quilt for Grandma

I just realized I need to reshoot this at a better exposure but it’s too late tonight. There’s an uneven shadow over it. Oh well.

Today is my Grandmother’s birthday. My Grandmother is a wonderful woman. My sister runs a blog about her, transcribing the love letters my Grandfather wrote to Grandma. My grandmother herself recently wrote her memories of the day her father was murdered. It’s still a very powerful subject for her.

For her birthday, and to practice some of the basics of quilting on a larger scale, I made her this blanket. The other side is a nice green The binding is white, and is hard to see in the photograph. I’m terrified it’s going to fall apart in 3 weeks but it seems pretty sturdy so far, and the binding is still held together with pins

Details after the leap.
