The quilt top pictured before is now a finished quilt (on Benjamin Seth Teel's bed). I titled the "XXX" quilt "Grandmother Kisses." And, here's this quilt's story.
The first time I was back home (a year after marrying and moving off to FL), my Mom held my face in her hands and covered my cheeks with kisses. . . before she inspected her new grandson David, even. What a sweet memory!
I tried to smother my babies with kisses like hers ... and then my grandchildren (at least seven kisses to count at all). Even the older ones are admirably tolerant, but it was (I think) one of Nine's girls who named my shower of affection "Grandmother Kisses."
Get in line ... I have plenty to spare still.

The quilt is lovely...as are all your quilts. I bought some sashing fabric today....does that count?
I love the colors! what fun that was to make! I think I'd like to give that a try, with all my scraps :)
I love the kisses story...my mom is the same way, and I'm following in her precious footsteps, praise the Lord! :)
