My first quilt top was made when I was in 7th grade, about 49 years ago. I was trying to copy my grandmother's quilt which my father told me was called single wedding ring. I used fabric from scraps in my 7th grade home ec class. I found out much later that I made the dresden plate pattern. I still have the quilt (my sister suprised me by having it quilted for my college graduation gift.) somewhere....
