The center block, a found block from an unknown quilter, was provided as part of a challenge. The fan blocks came from my Grandmother’s leftovers. She was well known for her prolific quiltmaking. I felt a satisfying connection to my Grandmother and other quilters from the past as I constructed this quilt from vintage fabrics and trims.

My mother loved the snow! She would put on Christmas music, make a pan of fudge, and watch the snow fall. She was diagnosed with ALS at age 82 and passed on at age 83. I made this large snowflake quilt in her memory. It makes me smile!
