I had a quilt that my Grandmother made for me around the 1930-40's. She made wedding ring quilts for each of her 5 grandchildren. I kept it nice while growing up, but when I married I began using it and eventually it was worn out. How I wish I had known the importance of not using it regularily. I would still have had that particular one. I do have a couple that my husbands Grandmother made, but that'snot the same as the one made especially for me. :-( :-(
