my husband and i were given two quilts by an old couple. wew helped them out by taking them to the doctor and the store and not long before they passed he gave us one he had quilted. he was a carpenter and he used his carpenter skills to make it, it had houses and flags. he said he believed in home, family and country is why he chose that pattern. she gave me a beautiful fan quilt. they have passed now and we miss them very much.
