Mom and my Grandmother got together with scraps of my "homemade" clothes and made five quilts for us when we got married. Today they would only fit a twin bed nicely. I've been married 51 years and through three children, I only have a piece of one and another one that is "lovingly used". My Mother in Law did not give gifts for special occasions. However, every year at some time or other she gave each of her children (5) a quilt, king size, before king size was heard of as all the family are large people. I have the two she gave us when we married. They are still performing well. One rides in our van all the time. Silvia
