My first was a monkey wrench pattern. It was a scrappy quilt made from all the leftover scraps from clothes I made my oldest daughter in the early '70s. If the quilt police were around they sure would have had grounds for an arrest. Used a 1/2 inch seam allowance, cordoroy was the background solid fabric, it was so heavy that I didn't use batting at all. Yes I still have it tucked away in a trunk. Probably would need a crane to get it out.
