I have a Lof Cabin quilt made by my grandmother...given to me for my high school graduation. It's not currently being used, because the edges are fraying from lots of use. My plan is to bind the edges with a cream-and lavender binding and put it to use again. (Lavender was my grandmother's favorite color...and should look really different with all the colors in the Log Cabin blocks!) I have other quilts also from my mother, and they are still being used. If they fall apart, I'll always have warm memories of the beloved maker.
