The Legacy Lives on – Six Generations of Quilters

For Christmas Autumn (age 5) made me a quilt.
Here are a few (maybe more than a few – I am a proud Grandma) progress pictures:


The name of the quilt is: Tricky Squares.

The reason it is tricky is because all the squares have a matching square except two.
Can you find the squares that do not have a match.

Autumn was really excited about giving me this quilt. In fact, on Christmas morning she stopped in the middle of opening her presents and said she wanted me to one my present from her. She sat down on her rocking chair and just watched me.

I can’t believe it – now I will have six generations of quilts in my home.

Thank you Autumn for such a special gift. I will treasure it always!
And thanks to Autumn’s mom (my daughter Emily) for her patience and love in working with Autumn to complete this project and helping her develop a love of sewing.
I will be changing my lecture to be:
