Sepia tones! What a wonderful look this quilt has.
A very special gift.
Love the quilt, and it's such a special gift. My grandparents were "Grandmama" and "Grandpapa" to me, and though I've never run across anyone else who calls grandparents by quite the same names, yours are close! Thanks for sharing the quilt.
thanks nadine.

This is just a great quilt. I love when family stories are incorporated into heirlooms. Great Work
That's what it's all about - sharing love. And how precious that your granddad received such a meaningful gift from you.
LOVELY!!! And sweet that it is for your granddaddy.
What a lovely story! You can see how much they love each other--it's as if the cake and whoever is taking the picture really aren't there at all.
I liked the way you did some of the squares around the photo darker than the others--it really set the picture off. Nice work!
I remember when you posted this Rachel -- it's beautiful!
I love the romance of your quilt and its story. Fabulous!

You did a great job on this. I like how the picture blends in with the quilt.
