Yes, I am fortunate to have a quilt my dad's mother and grandmother made in the 30's. Unfortunately my mom let me use it on my bed when I was growing up ... needless to say it is in pretty rough shape - but I still cherish it. I'll try to attach a pic.

yes I have one finished one she did. and I have 2 tops she didn't get finished. I wish I still had my sunbonnet quilt she made me, I loved that, and would spend hours finding the fabric from our dresses hers, mine and my moms

My mother left us kids several apiece when she passed away.My two aunts made them. While I was living in Oklahoma a lady there took her mother's dresses and had quilts made from them so that all the grandchildren would have something of hers. I thought that was a super idea because sometimes you just don't know what to do with older clothes.
The children loved them.(they were all grown)

Do you know the name of this quilt (your dearest quilt)? I love it and I know it is so special. I wish I had my grandmothers stuff like that, I do have one of her quilts. It is over 100 yrs. old and I do cherish it highly.

Oh, by the way, the phrase at the bottom on your post, you would not believe how long I have been looking for that quote. It truely describes me. I have been telling my daughters about it and could not find where I put it. So now I have it again. I will try to post my grandmothers quilt. I have to take a picture of it.

The picture doesn't even do it justice, it's absolutely exquisite

I have one, but no history. I'm sure it came from my Mother's family. It is hand pieced with scraps, looks like 30's or 40's. Old cotton batting, which I know I have to get it into the bathtub someday to wash it. I understand why we know now to put some isentification on our quilts.

I have a top that my grandmother made in the 1920's and it has silk flowers appliqued on it. The silk has shredded in some places. I took it to a quilt appraiser to see what I should do with it and she told me that I should make a quilt out of it as is and just enjoy the memories of my grandmother. She said not to try to replace the silk because it would not be the same.

It's in the little squares. One of the entire blocks of squares should have been flipped so that the blue/white/blue/white sequence is closer to the center.

I have 3 quilts my great-grandmother made and hand quilted. Two are double wedding ring made from the same fabrics and one is a pattern no one can figure out the name of. Luckily I have three daughters who will each inherit one.
