I don't know who would remember as a child the Rag Quilt. My sister gave me this and it is a quilt that my grandmother made when we were children. She remembers watching her make the quilt by rolling small pieces of rags into tiny strips and weaving them into a frame with (not sure what was used )but it looks like a very heavy duty thread as the weaving back ground. I do remember sleeping with these heavy blankets as a kid. (No heat in the upstairs bedrooms.) This one has been used and there is some fraying around the edges but the main part is in excellant condition. It is very heavy.

I am 69 yrs young so that will tell you about how old it is. They were French Canadian and could have been something they did.

My question is should I put a binding on it or leave as is?

Thank you for looking.
