I have quilted one for each of my grandchildren. It has been a great way to build my machine quilting skills and my grandchildren have an heirloom that spans 5 generations.
What fun!
I would love it if you could post some pictures of these quilts. I would like to learn more about the fabric that was typical of the 60s & 70s. I just started on a top using fabric samples I bought at an antique mall in Barstow. I think they are from the 60's, but am not certain.
