One of my grandmothers hated sewing. The other one sewed and quilted but I don't remember her doing it. She was in her late 70's by the time I could remember her and she just didn't do that sort of thing any more. By the time I came along my grandparents had the theory of "I can afford to buy a blanket, why would I make one?"
I do have a quilt made by my paternal grandmother in the late 50's or early 60's. My dad had it and gave it me in the early 2000's because he knew I would appreciate it and take care of it. It was tied AND machine quilted. It is a variation of the drunkard's path. I'm sure Grandmother would have NEVER used the word drunkard for something she liked. It was made from scraps. My mother said she recognized some of the fabrics being dresses that one of her sister-in-laws wore. Some of the fabrics are things I immediately associate with Grandmother, she may have still been wearing those dresses 10 years later when I could remember here
