As the oldest of 3 children, I had a single bed. From the earliest I can remember, I had a single size quilt on it. I imagine my grandmother made it because my parents both worked in the various businesses they owned. It was a simple block quilt with sashing between blocks. Very scrappy but the squares were probably 8 inches or so. I can remember many times during childhood, sitting on my bed, telling my younger sis and brother stories on that quilt and using the blocks for different rooms in the imaginary house in whatever story I was telling them. I also cut out many paper dolls sitting on it and read many books, lying on it. Sadly I do not know where it ended up as we moved many times but it still resides in my memory.
