I had cousins who quilted, not sure if my great-grandmother did, but I seriously doubt my grandmother quilted. However, my Mom made utilitarian quilts, which were used and used up long before I came along, I'm the youngest of 7 kids; however, my Mom did teach me to sew, helping me make my own clothes until I could take Home Ec. in high school and learned to read a pattern - my Mom made her own patterns. Unfortunately, none of my Mom's quilts survived 7 rambunctious kids, although I have fond memories of sleeping under them to keep warm in the winter. I doubt my daughter will quilt, although she did make a patchwork quilt of squares of some of my stash, as well as pieces of the clothes I had made her when she went off to college. So, I make quilts for our bi-annual family reunions where my family sends fabric in my color choice and I make quilts to be raffled off - it has become the highlight of a lot of reunions; so I am passing on my quilting legacy - now if only I could win one of those quilts that I've made, I'd be a happy camper.
