Lost Quilt

Back when I talked about my old quilts, I mentioned that I couldn't find one of my favorites, a quilt made by my husband's grandmother out of upholstery fabrics with a satin lining. I found it when I was getting out my Christmas decorations this year. It weighs a ton, but I love it.


Notice the lining -

Quilts

I don't quilt and haven't ever had the desire, but my grandmother and my husband's grandmother were quilters so I have a lot of quilts and they are treasures. Most of the quilts are patchwork, using scraps of fabric, but a few were "planned patterns" like Sunbonnet Sue below.

These were not just for exhibit, but were well used so some of these are worn as you can see.






The boy version of Sunbonnet Sue - whatever it is called.

This is one of the well-worn quilts. I remember this on my bed when I was a little girl.

My mother quilted years ago, but later only made baby quilts that she could hold in her lap and quilt. This is her last quilt and you can see is not finished. It is not a pieced quilt, but a printed quilt top. I would like to try to finish it one of these days! We'll see.

Someone had written my grandmother's name on this quilt and it says, made by Nezzie Travis in the early 30'th (I think they meant 30's)
