Hi all, I am not a quilter, I can’t even sew. If I say something dumb, or call something the wrong name, I’m really sorry!

My grandmother made beautiful quilts. Many of her grandchildren have cherished quilts that she made over the years. She passed away in 2012. While cleaning out my mom’s house after we had to move her to a memory care facility, we came across 4 beautiful quit “tops” that had been started but never made in to finished quilts. None of us had ever seen these before. Mom is obviously no help as she barely recognizes her own children these days. We are thinking that my mom found them when my grandmother passed, and just threw them in a bin of fabric and forgot about them. Mom was an incredible seamstress but did mostly clothes and the occasional blanket.

This is where my complete lack of quilting knowledge will become obvious.

Two of them are fairly basic square patterns, but two of them are incredibly detailed. The top part appears to be finished on all of them. It seems like it would be a massive amount of work to get these to this point.

My question is would it be possible to hire someone to finish these? How would I go about finding said person? I have no idea what the steps are for the top part to become a finished quilt. I would also have no idea what something like this should cost. I can post photos if that would help.

Thank you in advance for any advice anyone has!
