this one was very easy to make and quick as well.
there is a history behind one of the fabrics but might be too boring to some
thank you for your kind comments

cjomomma 05-04-2010 03:49 AM

If you have a story that goes with one of your quilts then please tell it. I know I would love to read it. You might think it is boring but maybe the rest of us won't. Just so you know I'm the nosy one. I always want to read a good quilt story. Please.

dsb38327 05-04-2010 03:52 AM

so, here is the story.
My niece and my family lives in Europe.
When my Mom got married in 1947, her cousin from New Jersey send her a set of bedding. It was beautiful fabric. In last 25 years if has been hanging in my parents attic. Every time I visited I would go there to look for old things. Few years ago, I found the sheet and brought it with me to USA. When my niece was getting married and I decided to make her quilt, and since she was my Mom's favorite granddaughter (the youngest) I decided to use that fabric in the quilt. Since the fabric was a bit frail in places, picked the best and used as small squares.
My niece and my Mom and the rest of the family had tears in their eyes when I told them about the fabric, taking it to the States,etc.

I wish I could write better, but this is the story behind the 4patch quilt.
Thank you for reading.

cjomomma 05-04-2010 06:00 AM

I enjoyed reading your story. It is a very heart warming story, I have tears in my eyes. Thank you I love the way your quilt touched others. Those are the best stories. Carrie

I agree with everyone esle - those are very beautiful quilts and the story you told about the sheet you used is indeed a very special story. You told the story well too.

Now, I have to say, it would be very nice if you would adopt me and make me one of your gorgeous creations!
