Well, I can prove it back to my father's great grandmother, from whom I have a quilt top that I may finally finish into a quilt one day when I feel like I'm good enough. My paternal great-grandmother and grandmother may have done some quilting, but they were both crocheters living in travel trailers by the time I came along. My mother's mother sewed a lot, and did some simple quilting. I have one of the few she made. My mother has done some quilting, but doesn't really have the time to get deeply into it, she does cross-stitch and sashiko.
I'm learning. I started with fixing older machines to get over my fear of them, and I just made my first quilted coaster a few days ago. Today I'm going to finish a pair of mug rugs for a Christmas gift exchange.
