My favorite quilt crossed the color wheel bridge long, long ago when I was newly wed. The top was pieced of fabrics given to my FIL and filled with a worn blanket. I cannot remember the back but I'm sure it was re-purposed. It was the plainest kind of utility quilt but it glowed for me because he put it on his cot right away and bragged on it to everyone that I'd made him something from, according to him, "rags." He was a dear, dear man---must have been like jojo47's FIL--a kind and appreciative gentleman.
