My mom made the most amazing quilts for us when we were kids. Mine was applique nursery rhymes. Each block was traced or enlarged from a coloring book, and appliquéd using double knit fabrics from old clothes. It was heavy, warm and wore like iron. When I outgrew Nursery rhymes, Mom made us all sunbonnet doll quilts, also appliqued with double knits, many of which were from dresses she had made for us.
