Purple and ugly!

My grandmother passed away earlier this week.  So, while I was thinking of her and what legacy she left behind, I rememered that she also left behind some fabric.  A few years ago, she called and asked if I could come by and pick up some fabric that she didn't need anymore.  I knew my grandmother was a quilter, and lets be honest, does a quilter EVER turn down free fabric?  I know I don't....well not any more.  I stashed her fabrics in the bins in the quilting closet downstairs (Yes, I have a quilting closet!) and forgot about it.  So, as I was remembering my grandmother, I also remembered the fabric.  My challenge was to make a small wall hanging quilt using ONLY her fabric.  Sounded like a great idea.  So, I pulled out my bins to discover that most of the fabric was REALLY ugly, or a thin poly cotton blend.  I pulled 2 large pieces out determined to do SOMETHING with it.  I settled on a lavender check and a lavender solid.  I selected a churn dash block and started cutting.  One problem after another would pop up in this process.  The solid was very thin and would catch on my dry skin, the blocks did not want to iron well, and it turned out to be a very ugly top.  I still plan to quilt it, but I may just do a basic outline stitch on the top.  Once it's done I will post the pictures...all I can say is Thanks, Grandma.
