When I saw this beautiful quilt at Amanda's blog, I was choked up a little by the post and the thought. I also filed it mentally away...
Until last week, when I made a similar quilt for my grandmother's 90th birthday. She's my only living grandparent, this birthday is a big deal, my parents will both be flying to India for it, and I wish I could be there too.
The quilt... (apologies for the ridiculously large picture, but I'm too lazy to resize)
I twisted my family's collective arms for the pictures, with me calling my parents in Canada to ask for pics, and they calling across the world to India. Sheesh, you would think collecting photos would be easier.

Thank you for the inspiration, Amanda. And the entire blog world, that is so generous in sharing everything that they create. I'm very grateful.

That's awesome! My grandmother is also getting up there in years and having some memory "issues" as a result. I will definitely try something similar. Thanks for the inspiration!
what an incredible gift Reethi! I can't imagine how much time went into that beautiful creation. Bravo!
