Grandmas Quilt
Summer is for visits and travels and while back in my home state I stopped to see Grandma at the old folks home. I'd seen her last summer just after she had moved in and decided that she needed some color in her room and that a quilt was just the thing. So Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday. I used the Yellow Brick Road pattern, which I know many people are very tired of or abhor greatly, but it is a simple pattern that looks complicated, uses twelve different fat quarters for a size between a lap and twin, and is fast and easy to put together. She loves it and so does the staff. I've made her other quilts in the past but when she moved here my Aunt gave those back to me. Mom made a quilt too and Grandma has that on her chair so she can cover up when she's watching TV if she gets cold. Unfortunately I didn't realize that until later and didn't get a picture. Bert suggested that I make her another quilt so that when this one needs to be washed she has another one to use on the bed. She wants her quilt. Know I just have to find another pattern that is quick and easy and uses lots of colors.
