Mrs Mel, I have to admit that one of my favorite quilts came from an auction years ago for $20, that was made out of wool squares-that's it!:)Inside is a pinkish wool blanket. Whoever tied it off-no quilting.It is one of my favorites and it is losing it's life too...and, I am going to make a quilt sleeve to go over it one of these days to keep what I have and hopefully protect it too. The poor thing is just wearing right thru:)Now, if it were a grandmother's quilt, etc...and, I was in the same boat, I'd prob make small throw pillows for all the great or just grandkids(out of what is good still). So, the quilt keeps going on thru the generation, one way or another. I love the old, imperfect quilts. I think they are very dear and the truth to the lack of knowledge or know how at the time or area. Just my 2cents:)Skeat......we never know generations from now, who would be interested in that old fabric anyhow:)LOL
