I have no childhood memories of quilts, as there were no quilts to remember. What I do remember, however, are my little books with quilts on beds, on porch swings, and patchworked aprons on the mama characters. My eye was always drawn to them and I always wished for one. When I moved out on my own, my first bedspread - while not a quilt - was a cheater patchwork that I bought from the back of a magazine. lol...
