An heirloom is just something that is valued and passed down for years through a family
the function, style, design, color, etc does not make it an heirloom.......
what you may term your "utility" quilt can very well end up an heirloom. And if you use said quilt often enough with your kids, they will want to keep it.....making it an heirloom.
CarolynMST - love your description of "heirloom"
Bneighbor - love your story of your Grandma's quilt
thank you, it is one of my most prized possessions. If my house were to catch fire, it would be the first thing I grab. Even all my most loved pictures are scanned and burned onto a cd which is located in the vault at my bank. No need to grab them. I hope some day to present the quilt to my son when he marries.
