    I just love to hear the stories -- I wish I had asked more questions when my grandmother gave me quilts. My grandparents were divorced and I don't really know who made them. But I'm guessing my grandfathers mother because of the workmanship and I say that I got my talents from her. I loved my quote step grandmother as my own but her workmanship was much different. And the colors of the quilts trace to the era of my grandfathers mother. Wow I really chatted along here.
    Thank you for sharing !

    the story of these quilts should be documented. It would give more meaning to the quilt and to the family.
    wonderful story and beautful quilts.
