My 'new' old machine is very heavy cast iron. Grandma wouldn't care. She'd like the quilt to be used. I would still have enough to frame for any of my children who wanted some of it. Each quilt fit a full size bed generously.

The tulle doesn't feel right. It's a manmade product and the quilts are all cotton. Plus, it negates the fact that these were made to be used.

I really wanted a Drunkard's Path. She had templates made of steel so they'd stay perfect. That was the quality of her work. The colors were stronger. That generation believed red haired children belonged in pastels, so I got the pastels.
