I've noticed them more since I started quilting but I've always been interested in quilts since way back when I'd stay with my grandma. I wasn't very old when I started noticing the ones she had on her bed. I clearly remember the one that was a wool crazy quilt, I remember it being scratchy. I often wonder what happened to it.

If quilts could talk what stories they'd tell.

Of course! One of the main features in a movie I saw recently was quilts... "How To Make An American Quilt". Also, a bit of trivia for any Knight Rider fans--in "Halloween Knight", Bonnie has a Dresden Plate quilt in her apartment. ;-)

Yes! Just watched 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' last week and read that some of the dresses worn for that movie were made from homemade quilts. They were beautiful.

(Good movie too, by the way.)

Ditto on that, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a great movie. I saw it years ago, perhaps it's time to see it again.

I wonder if I should start making a list of the movies I have seen with quilts in them. It would be interesting to see how many there are.

The Walton's have more beds and they have had several shows where quilts were the subject matter. I love watching Little House on the Prarie too. They have lots of quilts there also.
