I'm the same age, and in the late 50's, my grandmother made bow tie quilts with alternating squares of bubblegum pink for each of her six granddaughters. The bow ties were all 1930s-style fabrics. Our grandmothers must have had great stashes to have so many of the fabrics 20 years later.

I am so glad you rescued that lovely quilt. What a wonderful and treasured birthday gift it will be! I am glad you are putting a label on it. I am 78 and I remember sewing with flour sacks. I can remember fashion shows with all of the garments made from flour sacks. Your quilt brought back fond memories.

What a pretty Drunkard's Path quilt. Another reason we should label our quilts. I think that I will remember when I made a certain quilt and I don't. I'm trying to keep a small photo album with pictures of the quilts I've made and when, but I'm not always current. It's a beautiful quilt.

coincidentally today someone posted a link to biblical blocks and there's one called "Solomon's Puzzle". It looks like your Mom's pattern.
