I got to thinking after my last post. My grandmother was born in 1898. I am in possession of two quilts she made. One very well worn was made in 1939 for my parents wedding present. The other in like new shape (probably never used as bedding)was one she made for my dad's twin brother, probably in the same general time period. Both were machine pieced and quilted (straight stiched). I can tell by my uncles quilt that the fabric was new (could have been scraps from sewing but certainly wasn't from old wore clothing). Surely this old man wasn't the age my grandma would be if she were alive still (113). Old people get weird ideas, possibly he didn't even realize he was offensive. Here is a hug.
