Here's a little more information about the quilt from Renee.


Thanks that is a cool web posting you've got. A little more about
the quilt you probably know is that its pieces were made from flower
sacks according to mom. At that time flour was sold in a cotton bag
a lot like a pillow case, they made print on them because they saw
people were making clothing for their kids with them.


My Mom said Renee was looking for something to do for her high school sewing class and had all the confidence in the world that she could do this. It just took a few more years than she figured. She and my Mom got the fabric and batting, then Renee took it to school where the teacher helped her sandwhich it. I think that's all I know about this quilt. They have no idea about what year the quilt was started...
