Even though the quilts may not live up you to our expectations I always think they speak to the time and soul of those who made them. I have some100 y old that wouldn't win any awards but they speak to the soul of a different resourceful ere. My grand mother ,who had two daughters freeze to death, put me to bed every night underd quilts so heavey from being recovered that I couldn't turn over once in bed. one of the quilts i Have is made if mens shirts and pajamas from years ago. Win an award NO abut speak to the times YES. Live in the presentbbut look to the past.Someonewastalking about $14 a yard fabric we may need to learn fromour fore mothers.God bless
