There is only one quilt that I remember, my granny made it from her boys old wool coats, solid black, and a red plaid, she used feed sacks as the backing, and tied it, actually she tied most of it, and then showed me, (I was 7) how to do it and let me finish it. It was the heaviest and warmest thing that I can remember, which we dearly needed, in the winter of 1957, in the hills of Kentucky, my parents were divorced and we lived in a trailer with no furnace. We all (my mother and 2 sisters) slept in one bed and that quilt kept us from freezing, we were all toasty warm under that quilt. It's gone now, but I made 2 replica's of it and gave one to my granny's only daughter,(my father's sister) with the story sewn into the fabric.
