Gee, after reading this, I'm glad my brother won't throw a quilt out. He asked me to make him one for his bed after his divorce. I asked what happened to the one he had and he said the ex took it. I liked to have had a fit. I told him that was a wedding gift that our grandmother had hand pieced and had quilted and she had no right to take it. He talked to her and she has put it up for one of the girls to have when later. I did make his quilt to his liking and to make it fit as the spread for his king size bed.
