I would choose both of my grandmothers, maybe not together as they probably had some different ideas.
My father's mother quilted by machine in the 40's and 50's. Nothing fancy, but on the treadle.
My mother's mother handquilted in a quilt frame that took almost the entire living room to use.
They both machine pieced.
I'd love to spend a day sewing with them. I never had that opportunity.
