A few years ago, my grandfather passed away. During the cleanout of his house, we came across these quilt squares that my grandmother had started. 
She chose some interesting color combinations and I'm certain she used old clothing for scraps. Having survived the Depression she was great at making something out of nothing it seemed.
A few of the turtles were sewn with a blanket stitch around each piece so I've continued on sewing around each one until they are all sewn down.
Now I just have to find some cute fabric for the sashing and put it all together. Did I mention I really don't know how to quilt, I'm just making it up as I go along. Hopefully I'll be able to live up to Grandma's legacy and get it done.

I didn't know you found these, what a treasure. And yes, the colors do look just like my Grandma. I sure miss her and Grandpa too. This is going to be a beautiful quilt.
