My mother and Dad playing with me and my two sisters in the living room. They had a sunbonnet sue quilt and one at a time we would lie down on the quilt then they would fold it over us and take the ends then swing us back and forth it was a lot of fun and I only remember doing it the one time but I was fascinated by the applique girls. Later just before my eighth birthday my grandma made quilts for me and my sister. I got to pick mine first and I loved it for many, many years. My grand mother would piece the quilts and grandpa would tie them. She insisted that they be tied every 1 1/2 to 2" so they looked tufted and that is why they lasted so long. I was about 45 when my quilt finally want to quilt heaven and took all the upcycled fabrics with it since grandma only used old clothing to make her quilts.
