I'm very glad my Mom tied a quilt. Several years ago she gave me an old blanket that she had covered with a sheet and tied it together. Last month it started to rip so I took off the sheet expecting to see an old blanket that she covered. Instead I found an old quilt that was hand sewn. It was a scrap quilt in 3 inch squares. Unfortunately most of the fabric is torn and worn out and I don't think it can be replaced. I saved the quilt and the back of the sheet for support. (Still tied) If she hadn't tied it, I probably would have tossed it in the trash not knowing the treasure underneath. Don't know who made the quilt, Mom and her sister don't remember it.
