My sweet grandma passed away a couple of months ago and I have inherited all of her sewing collection, along with materials and old sheets. This is the perfect thing to create!!! I am unsure of how to do the three layers together, but I'll do a practice run before I stitch the real thing. Thanks for the inspiration! This is really inspiring.

I am a beginner quilter and would love to try this. But, would you break the block size into inches. I don't know how to figure cm. Thanks Betty Love the quilt.

There is a link above to a machine quilting tutorial. It's not hard, though. You need to buy a darning foot for your machine. When it's attached, lower the feed dogs of your machine (but remember to check that the foot is 'down' as far as it will go. Then you will be able to stitch in all directions, just as you would darn a sweater. Hold the fabric loosely -- don't push it down, hold it as you would an embroidery hoop -- and swish it around whilst sewing. It takes a little practice but it sure is fun! Thank you, Trish!
