Does anyone remember quilts that were made to cover bed and pillows
#1
Does anyone else remember when some quilts were designed and made (in the 70s) where two top rows of the pattern were put on the BACK of the top of the quilt? The quilt was put on the bed, then the pillows were put on top of the quilt and the extra piece of the quilt at the top was brought over the pillows so that you did not have to "tuck" the quilt under the pillows? I never made one that way but thought it was a great idea.

What a good idea to start using again.
Thanks for reminding me.

I have never heard of this type of quilt. Guess I just wasn't paying attention to quilts in the 70s. I have made a quilt that has a separate panel at the top that went over the pillows. There is a strip between the main part and the pillow part to tuck under the pillows.
