When I was 10, we moved into an old farmhouse. My sister and I shared the grand adventure of sharing the room over the barn. It was not heated, so it was pretty chilly in the winter. I remember my step mother bringing us a quilt, her great grandmother had made. It was a true 'crazy quilt' with no squares, just all over patches and fantastic embroidery. It was all velvet. It was pretty similar to the one I recently saw that sold for $70,000, but much bigger. I remember being so warm under it. It probably had home made wool batting since they were sheep farmers. I do remember it weighed a ton. Unfortunately we lost it in a barn fire years ago.
