Here is the first major quilt that I started in 5th grade. Ah...way back in the 1960's. My mother showed me how to cut newspaper squares and lay the pieces on and sew them. The black pieces were some of her mother's dress pieces. My grandmother was a widow since my mother was 14. The black did not hold up well so I have been appliqueing black on top. The materials were leftover dress pieces from many of my sister's and my dresses. I finished the project after High School.
