I have one quilt from each of my grandmothers and one from my DH's maternal grandmother. My Mom's mom used unwashed sheep's wool as batting, men's flannel & wool shirt's & trousers for the patches. This is probably one of many utility quilts she made. They raised sheep on the farm they homesteaded in SD. My mom was born in a sod house in 1913. She was the oldest of 5 ~ and the 2nd was also born in the soddy. Then they built the 'real' house. Sadly, the only pictures of the soddy are of a corner and of a window ~ both with my mom as a baby in front of them.
