Both grandmothers had quilts, but most vivid memory is of my mother's great aunt. Mom saved her scraps and she gave them to her aunt to make a quilt in the 1950's. It turned into a double wedding ring quilt with yellow and lavender centers. My GGA had a quilting frame and her friends would quilt at her house. I remember playing under it as a child. Some how the double wedding ring never got quilted, so Mom had it at her house. One year, probably in the late 1990's she asked me if I wanted it. We washed it and I brought it home where it sat for a few years. I decided it was time to quilt it in 2004. I sandwiched and quilted it by hand using a hoop. My daughter got married in 2005 and the quilt was my gift to her. I am enclosing pictures of the quilt and her.
