Years ago I received a quilt that was made by an elderly friend of my Grandmother. It is not perfect. Some of the seams are not fully caught... no 1/4 inch seams. It is imperfectly machine quilted. I love it. It is made from fabrics my grandmother used to make dresses for me. My thought, even then, when I was young was I SURE HOPE THAT WHEN I AM OLD AND CAN NOT SEE WELL THAT I WILL STILL BE QUILTING AND PASSING ON MEMORIES TO OTHERS!!!!!!! Quilting is not meant to be perfection, but LOVE.
