No one in my family quilted. My mother sewed all my clothes including coats and they were beautiful. A couple of my first husband's aunts made quilts out of scraps and I have two from Aunt Fern that are about 30-40 yrs old. I 've had to re-sew a couple pieces that have come loose but otherwise they are in good condition considering we use them all the time and they get washed often. She always bound hers with prairie points.
