When my aunt passed away a couple of years ago, my cousins (read male and unmarried) had gone through her house to close it down. They invited my father and I to come over and pick out anything we wanted before a yard sale. To my shock there was a pile of about six quilts so I asked the boys what they were going to do with them. They confirmed that they didn't want them and were going to the sale and that I could have them....I haven't run that fast with anything in a long time.....They went home with me. I did give my mother a couple for her mountain house.

Several I know for sure were made by my grandmother. One was a pink sailboat that my father owns a matching blue sailboat (made in the 50s). I have plans for the pair to be passed on to my two daughters now.
