Yesterday was a fairly nice day, so I took advantage of it and washed these quilts. They were made by my mom. She would sometimes make a top and it be years later that she would quilt it. Such is the case with the one with the five stars.
I was little when she made it...and no longer lived at home when she quilted it. But I did happen to be on vacation and was there while she was quilting it. So I go to do a little bit of the quilting. I cannot remember how old I was when she made this other quilt...
but there is material from a dress I had in third or fourth grade. (The yellow was not part of my dress...just the dark fabric.)
And there is fabric from some of her dresses...
I really loved this quilt from the minute she made it. Just because of the memories associated with the fabric if nothing else.
I have always planned for our girls to have them. I wash them every so often then put them up. They have never really been used. I am planning on taking the star one to Sarah this weekend. And one of these days will be mailing the bottom one to our other daughter.
