Wool Lap Quilt-Stay warm in College

Wool Lap Quilt-Stay warm in College - This lap quilt was created in the early 1960's by my grandmother for me to use a college to keep warm when the heat didn't work. It is made of wool that she or my father had made into clothes for members of our family. I recognize 3 different wool pieces that I know I wore during the 1950's & 60"s. Some of the rectangles are patched so that they are the correct size for the quilt. This attests to my gradmothers frugal use of every scrap of fabric. I remember playing with her scraps as a child and learning to sew first from her at a very young age (5-10). The quilts has been secured tofether by tying with wool yarn.
