You should actually be happy
, not sad. A lot of people
think in this same way (quilt police
)but don't even
know it!! I would be happy to have you look at my quilts...lol!
Many years ago my grandmother made all of her grandchildren quilts when they married and would also make a smaller one for each new great grandchild. She was never a perfect quilter (actually by today's standards her quilts would be laughed at
) but 40+ years later, those quilts are still going strong and are now being used by great-great grandchildren. She used whatever colorful fabrics she could find, hand sewed the squares, rectangles, etc. together with crochet thread, lined them with flannel or old wool-coat fabric, edged them with big fat bindings, and tied them with yarn. They are wonderful to sleep under because I like heavy blankets and they are nice and heavy.
