I started with Grandma's old flip flop, the treadle where you push it up and down to get the needle to go up and down. That is how I described it for years. I remember having to sit on the edge of the chair to reach the foot power, so must have been quite young. All I did was put two squares together and get them together with others till I had a big sheet of different colors. I remember it was very heavy, then Grandma and aunts took over and made it into a real quilt. All of them seemed to have little chunks of yarn sticking up here and there, so they were all tied together.
