Grandma's Quilt

Diane's grandmother made this long ago and she inherited it and decided it was time to have it quilted. It was hand pieced in long lines of triangles and then machine pieced to attach the long rows of triangles. The number of pieces? I didn't count them but there were a lot! Such a great keepsake with all the memories of the pieces incorporated in the quilt.

Looks like 30's to 60's fabrics and there are so many different prints, it's hard to believe!
A great quilt!

Quilted with the Sticky Buns pattern and Lucerne Blue thread..

The borders that Diane added to the quilt.

Look close at this center piece, it's the cutest cat fabric, a 30's fabric, I believe.

The backing that was so soft and perfect for this quilt!
