Beautiful quilt and how special to know the story of its life. Will you be making a label for it?

Thank you so much - yes the fabrics are interesting - pretty sure they were "scraps" they used - a few of them I can mentally picture from little dresses made for my mom & aunt when they were little.

Thank you for viewing it. Yes I hope to make a label & actually heard about Printed Treasures printing material on this msg. board. I want to try to find some here see if I can make one from this.

Have a blessed week ahead. :lol:

I have one exactly like it. I was born in 1938 and I got it from my grandmother. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw your quilt because mine is the same. I'll dig it out and post it also. Aren't we lucky? Illsa

Yes Illsa - we are lucky - that must have been a popular way in the 30's to use their scraps. I will be anxious to see yours

What a nice heirloom! It looks like your mother was careful to preserve it for you. Thanks for sharing with us.
