Gosh , the tops we are expected to quilt! The first ‘Grandma Mary’ top I quilted, before Christmas, for my grandson Dalton was double knit and bad enough.

Dalton’s dad Lee, also receive one of ‘grandma Mary’s’ tops and Dalton volunteered me to also quilt his ( Lee is my ex- son-in-law)
This is the top. First look at what I had to work with. No blocks were squared or squared to same size either. Some ballooned up and some lay flat but wonky. Some seams matched, some were off as much as an inch on one edge. A nightmare is understatement , more like twilight zone. I tried to stipple the poofy blocks without pinching or distorting too much, but they still were poofy or blousy. I wasn’t happy with that.
Hubby told me just get it done. No amount of time and trying, was gonna make it work like I wanted and they just wanted a quilt with ‘Grandma’s top’.
I let my ex son-in-law know yesterday that it’s finished. I remind him that he probably knew Grandma‘s blocks were off, to say the least and a challenge, for me. I told him it was together, but it has more nips and tucks than Dolly Parton or Priscilla Presley. I also told him the edge has more waves that the beaches have. His response to me, ‘Sounds like this quilt has Grandma’s sense of humor sewn in!’
Have a good day Cuties. To all those birthdays I missed, I hope it was a good one! ❤️Toogie
