I don't remember when I received this quilt from my mother. She used it for many years on her bed and at some point, she gifted it to me. My grandmother, my mother's mother started this quilt, and she gave it to my mother and she finished it. I did use it for quite a few years but noticed that the fabric was starting to fray in one area, so I packed it up and stored it away.
I've been thinking about this quilt lately and decided to try and fix it. I thought it turned out nice and doesn't look like a brand-new piece of fabric that has been added which I didn't want to happen.
I thought also if I wanted to hang onto this anymore and who could I gift it to. I have daughters who have either a quilt or something from my mother, but I didn't know if my brothers only daughter had received anything from her grandmother. She did not, so I am gifting this to her to enjoy. The fabric in this quilt I believe is mostly from feed/flour sacks and fabric from a shirt my father made in high school in his sewing class that he took. He didn't sew anything else after that class, and I'm not really sure why he had to take a sewing class, I'm thinking it was either that or typing.
I can't remember when I received this quilt from my mother.
