Someday these will be "treasures" also - hopefully to your own family. I have a quilt made by my grand mother & HER mother the year my mom was PG w/me (1934) - IT IS A REAL "TREASURE" TO ME & my dgtr already loves it, knowing it will someday be hers.
Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love. :lol:
It's funny you said that, because the quilts I love the best are ones that look antique. I primarily make quilts using Civil War and 1930s repro fabrics, and to me, they are timeless.
The "outdated" ones are those that I bought trendy fabric or kits for. Because they were fashionable at the time, they look dated to me. I was trying to be trendy, but, alas, I'm just an old-fashioned girl. But now I know someone will love each one of them!
