Grandma's Quilt

So, my lovely and talented cousin/friend, Artsy Aut had an awesome idea.  Since we are cousins, we share grandparents.  Said grandparents are in their 90's and their health is failing.  She suggested that we make them lap quilts.  I had a jelly roll that had Grandma's name all over it!  I sewed all the strips together, cut them and have all the (80) squares ready to rock and roll.  Now I just have to put them all together!  It is the Garden Trellis quilt from the Jelly Roll Quilts book and it is such an easy quilt top to put together.  Seriously easy, but looks really complicated!  Those, in my opinion, are the best!  I highly reccommend this book.  I have a few more quilts in the works from this book.
