The concept of friendship quilts were very common and also popular with the people we knew and our family. Some neighbors and all were not as familiar, so they got some help from needle workers they knew. My SIL had her sis do the one for her and my brother and the one for their children(the clown with Boyd, Brad and Jenny). Way over half of the people represented are no longer living, so that gives an idea of the age of many of the needle workers!
