    Great blanket! And how special that it came from scraps you found in your mother's attic. Very cool. Can't wait to see it with the shell edging.

    Oh Corry! I love it!!! I so want to make one of these. My friend who I am teaching to quilt wants to be able to teach me something she says. So she is going to teach me to make granny squares. I just need to clear up some more old projects first as I have far too much in the works now. Seeing this makes me want to start today. What a great job you did and it is just so cheerful like a pretty old scrap quilt can also be.

    Hugs en groetjes ~

    Beautiful. I love the fact also that it came from scraps from your mother. It is like having a little of her with you. I have a quilt that my mother made and I cherish it so much. Hope you had a wonderful Easter.
