My Great-Grandmother made me this quilt.
That would make it around 50 years old.
I remember looking at the soft little bunnies.
I also remember not liking the *patchwork* side of it.
It was rough and the colors were not pretty.
I'm pretty sure it was made out of
men's suit pants
and jackets.
I have been to a few quilt fairs in Houston.
So you KNOW they were fantastic affairs!
Hundreds and hundreds of quilts on display.
They are works of art.
The *quilters* win trophies, medals, honors.
I know they put a lot of work into them.
AND,
lots of money.
The fabric is purchased brand new......
and if you have priced fabric for quilts, you know the
finished product is pricey.
When I think of quilts,
I think of the way they used to be made.
From scraps......
That's the way I like to make quilts.
from scraps.....fabric from my own sewing room
If you have a thought on quilts....and scraps....and works of art....
please say so!
