Not sure if this is the best place to post but here goes. ...
My dm recently gave me a very long blanket of crochet squares that were crocheted by my grandmother as part of her rehabilitation following a stroke in the early 70s. She died soon after but I have very strong memory of her and her carer making it. My job was to hold the wool ball :) (I was about 4)
It's beautiful but not really usable as it is as it's too long and a bit scratchy. I'm not crafty and wouldn't think of trying to do anything with it as i would for sure spoil it.
I would love someone to make it smaller and add a soft back so I could use it for my 8 month old dd.
I would be very happy to make a donation and gift the left over squares. I hate to think of it just sitting in a draw for another 40 years! My dgm was an amazing lady.
If this is not the right place for this please let me know and I'll have it deleted.

That's a lovely idea :) You might want to post this in Arts and Crafts as well for traffic.
