My grandmother always made quilts. She used outgrown clothes, scraps her daughter or DIL's got from garment factories. She also never left any scraps bigger than a pencil wifth. My mother taught me to sew but could never have put a quilt together. One block drove her crazy. That is how I got started making quilt tops. She brought home a pattern from one of the girls she worked with and I had to sew it. I have made many and I have given everything away. I have never kept one for myself. I have one called "Tennessee" from Quilter's cache I have not quilted yet. I may keep it or give it to my daughter from KY.
