How to Make an American Quilt

My grandma is an amazing quilter. For as long as I can remember, she has constantly been working on quilting projects - queen size quilts for all of my aunts & uncles, baby quilts for every new grandchild and great-grandchild and all kinds of wall hangings.

At Thanksgiving time last year, I asked Grandma if she would be willing to make a quilt for me (I figured I better not wait until I get married or have a baby to get my own quilt!!) - of course, Grandma gracioulsy obliged.

I picked out a pattern that I really liked (named "Mocha Java") and picked out my general color scheme - browns, tans and turquoise.

One year later and my beautiful quilt is complete - I could not have imagined that it would be this amazing. But, it's made my Grandma, so why would I expect anything less? I love it and it will serve as a wonderful memory of her in the years to come.
