Design Source - Description | Made by my grandmother and her sisters as teens prior to WWI. This is a scrap quilt and my grandmother could always point out pieces from each of her sister's dresses. She gave me this quilt in the 1970s and I slept under it while away at college, and still sleep under it when it's cold -- not often in Florida. The quilt is handmade and my grandmother always complained about how long it took. This quilt seemed to be a rite of passage for her. She sewed clothing until the early 70s, but preferred to use her electric Singer and never made another quilt. |
