This has been an interesting read.
This wasn't a quilt, but when I was 10 yrs old I bought with baysitting money (yes, at ten), white linen and cut an oval and 2 round circles.
I crocheted pretty edges around all three.
These were for my sister's vanity, the old fashioned kind that had a dropped part in the center with a big round mirror at the back.
A few days later I saw my BIL using the oval one to shine his shoes that he had just polished. I was crushed!
So now I am very particular who I make things for. My children and grand kids love my gifts and take good care of them.
You know some memories hang around forever.
