I once 'doctored' a worn out 'grandma made it' quilt for a friend of mine; what a rewarding project. <BR/><BR/>Bill's sister had a quilt made by their great-great-grandmother that was too 'love-worn' to be repaired, so she salvaged 7 squares from it and framed them for herself and each of her siblings, with a letter on the back of the frame telling the history of the quilt (one of the best gift ideas I've ever seen).<BR/><BR/>The quilt that lives on my bed was the last quilt my grandmother made before her passing; she called it 'Joseph's coat' because she made it from all of her quilt scraps from the past several years. The corners don't match as well as when she was younger, and the pattern is not consistant, but she was in her mid-80's when she made this one so it's understandable. I noticed shortly after receiving it that the hand-quilting on several of the squares hadn't been finished; I considered finishing those spots myself, but then I decided to leave them, as a testimony to where she was in life when she made it. It is my absolute favorite.NinaCherie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15704154465686289271noreply@blogger.com
