I just received a bunch of DH's grandmother's yarn and material stash. She is in her late 80's and is not able to do it any more due to poor eyesight and difficulty with her hands. In the fabric was a piece with birds on it. It is white with squares marked and in the middle is a bird scene/picture and then the species name. She loves birds, and DH and I were thinking maybe I could use it to make her a quilt to thank her and show her how much she's loved and appreciated. It would be either a wall hanging or a lap size depending on design. There were (I think) eight different birds and the squares were about 12 in. So far I only have 2 ideas 1-put a shashing around them to make a wall hanging, or 2- alternate the bird blocks with bird fabric squares to make a cuddle quilt for her. I'll try to get some pics. taken of the fabric and put them on my webshots site, until then, any other creative ideas?
TIA!!
