My great grandmother (paternal side) gave this quilt to my parents when they married. I suspect it is quite old and was possibly old/used when they received it. It was the first quilt I ever saw/touched and has always been my favorite. I used it all the time as a teenager. My mother gave it to me for my home when I got married.
I love how it is made with scraps of clothing. The simplicity gives it charm. My great grandmother lived in West Virginia during the depression. She died of lung cancer before I was born. Never smoked a day in her life. A very religious, thrifty woman.
Here's her quilt...
