Aug OMG - UFO from 1997

20 years ago (way back in the summer of 1997!) when I was 13, we moved from CA to CT.  We stayed with my grandparents while my newly-retired from the Marines father and mother looked for a new home for us.  I missed CA, but I enjoyed that summer because I got to sleep in my Grandma Taylor's sewing room!

I made this not-quite-square block:
8.5" ish
And this dinky (4.5" ish x 3.25") little fussy-cut piece:




My seams were not even or straight...


Still, I like the colors I used. These are scraps from Grandma!  My favorite is the one with those purple, green and yellow flowers.  <3

My OMG is to take this apart and straighten it out.  ((extra credit: add border and turn into a wall hanging))    Linking back to our host:  Elm Street Quilts

    What fun memories! If you have a photo of your grandma (maybe with you) you could print it on fabric and piece it with the blocks.
