I have a nine patch quilt made by my ggm. It was made in the late 20"s or early 30"s. It need a little patching on the binding but all in all it really held up well. It is not "used" here in our home, just for display.

SandyinZ4 - beautiful quilts. I wonder if the machine-sewn binding was added by someone else. I am in awe of her doing all of those points on that BIG quilt by hand.

I really am loving see all the quilts people have inherited. They are just beautiful.
MGW. You are doing fine. I have a sister in law from Brazil and your post is like her emails so I understand just fine. :-) |
No I'm the only one I know of that quilted in my family.

The quilt was made from her own clothes. How awesome! |
I have a quilt my maternal grandmother made for me in high school (45 years ago). I remembering her asking me what colors I wanted in it. It is on our bed now.
We also use a quilt my husbands mother made when the children were young (+50 years ago). There are many shirt fabrics used. She hand-quilted a Baptist Fan design. My grandmother embroidered a rose pattern on many blocks. I still need to hand quilt it and put together. (It qualifies as a true UFO). |
I have a log cabin quilt that my grandmother made in the late 50's. It was made on a treadle machine and hand tied. It was used hard and needs repair. I have not quilted long enough to have the confidence to try to repair it. I have no idea where to start.

It looked like she had just done it by the time I got through with it. |
