Ten years or more in the making. 
To tell the truth I forgot that I had started it.
And then I rediscovered it hidden in an unpacked box of goodies (from a house move in 2000) when I moved into my studio and then and there I decided to finish it.
It consists of my darling Nana's crocheted hope chest doiley's that would be around 90 -100 years old, my aunt's bits and pieces of lace and ribbon, and my own fabrics and lace collected over the years .
This is a photo of My Nana and Pop on their wedding day in 1919.

I have appliqued and machine embroidered items that I think signify some of the things my Nana loved in life. 
The quilt fits the top of my queen size bed and consists of 13 block onpoint plus half blocks.
I joined it with a brownish cotton representing the seemingly plainness of my nana's life.
The blocks represent her rich inner life.
Well that sounds good anyway and I'm pretty sure it's true! LOL!
Anyway - ta..................da!
