Hi Rose,
Per your request, I took pictures of the quilts I made for my granddaughters. I couldn't believe I hadn't after all the work I put in to them.
Years ago, I made one for my daughter, Jeanine-Marie that was the story of her life. Each block told of some part of her life from her early years, her pets, her activities, her schools and any landmarks she accomplished. It came out beautiful.
I also made one for my mother's 92nd birthday that took highlights of her life and made quilt blocks for them. It is a very long and tedious project but it was so worth it.
The workmanship is amazing! Since I saw it in person, I can say that I was very impressed.

Hugs, Rose
