Default My First Quilts...Pieced and tied

My Grandmother got me into doing hand piecing and backing...I did a doll blanket I still have.
Then sewed clothing for family and now alot of mending (jean Knees)for grandkids.
Now I am back to sewing quilts. I starting by sewing twin size summer/winter blankets( cool sheet on back & flannel on front). as the kids called them. Then I started square denim quilts still tying them ... then graduated to piecing and still tying. But now I peice blocks and hand quilt. I have 3 quilts in the process of getting done...A double Carpenter Star, Splendor Window and combination of 8 pt star & ???
