I have a few from my grandmother. The others were such treasures that I decided to donate them to the Latimer Quilt and Textile Museum in Tillamook, Oregon. I weighed the decision carefully, and the women at the museum were so gracious and thrilled to get them that I walked away knowing I'd done the right thing. I kept one that was a duplicate of the same pattern, and I kept the one she made especially for me. Also, there are two others that are so worn that I didn't think they were museum quality any more. Some day I'll restore them. They just need to be taken apart and resewn with fresh batting.
