Both grandmothers quilted. My Mom's Mom made beautiful quilts, but she died when I was 2yr--I do have her 1920's hand pieced and quilted Grandmother's Flower Garden double bed (which got some use) and matching crib (not used as the baby it was made for died)and also one that she did all the embroidery on lilac blocks but did not finish the piecing before she got ill--in the early 1970's my Mom's aunts finished it up.
My Dad's mother made incredibly heavy, wool crazy quilts. She worked at the Nellie Don Dress Factory in Nevada, MO when my Dad young and had lots of wool dresses & coats and access to wool scraps. I have one of her quilts.
