I have one embroidered quilt which is hand-quilted but with machine-stitched binding. My paternal grandmother made many hand-quilted quilts but I've always wondered about this binding. The other, apparently made by the other grandmother, is a log cabin made from strips of wool, etc. My Mother used to tuck it over us when we were sick and point out pieces from clothing she had. Wish I had paid more attention since both grandmothers were mothers before 1900.
