It brings back a lot of memories for me too. My grandma would make a blanket quilt just like that one for each of her grandkids. I can still remember the cosy blanket made from the unwanted cloth edgings from tailor shops. It was cool during hot days but warm when nights were cold. I don't have it anymore but I have always thought of making one again.Elaine Yimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473617720902049498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-14621396474999688282010-11-10T05:14:46.977-08:002010-11-10T05:14:46.977-08:00Oh how I love your post today, Ann...

You made this queen size quilt in three days??? I've never heard of such a thing, how can it be? You have to cut out the little squares and such first, so much to do before sewing!! It is so very pretty!! I bet you could make quilts very fast and make a lot of money selling them! But it might burn out your nerves and you would loose sleep!Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
