My grandmother was born in 1889 and quilted as long as I remember. She made the YoYo quilts among so many others but hers never had a backing. This seemed so time consuming to me, even watching someone gifted with patience and mastering tiny hand sewing. A co worker of mine started one years ago. She intended to make it bedspread size but managed to get runner size and just displays it on a rack. She did a great job but got discouraged because it was so much work. They are pieces to be admired, for sure.
