The blocks were embroidered by my mom and great grandma. See A Mother's Love- Part 1 for the back story.
Grandma allowed me to design how I wanted the quilt to look. I envisioned a garden. The embroidered blocks I wanted surrounded by a stain glass inspired gate in memory of grandpa. I wanted a wandering chain of flowers between the inner gate and outer border. When grandma completed the quilt, she had a local lady machine quilt it before sewing the binding on.
It was quite the project. But I am so thankful that I have something to keep my mom, grandpa, and great grandma in my memories. And one day when grandma goes to join them, I will also remember her love in creating this beautiful quilt.
