Thank you sharing your beautiful treasures. I am 66yrs old and I have some of my grandmothers quilts made in thes 40's and 50's. Will post pictues when I am able to be on my feet more. two of them are tulip quillts and I am going to try and duplicate the pattern some day and make one of my own.
My 14 yr. old GD saw the quilts and wanted one to keep. She said "grandma these are just quilts they are treasures". she loved hearing the stories of the different fabrics and from whose clothing scraps they were made. some from flour sacks and others from scraps she saved. She lived with us and I remember sitting and watching her cut the pieces from every tiny scrap and then hand sewing them together. I don't know how they managed to do it with rotary cutters and sewing machines. Then she would drop her quilting frame down from the ceiling and hand quilt them.
Makes me feel pretty humble!!
