I have one quilt my Grannie made. Its a rail fence one made out of polyester. it was made sometime in the 70"s. It was handpieced and I have done tons of repair work on it and it seems anytime anyone even looks at it more seams come undone. But I treasure it anyway. I also have some Sunbonnet Sue blocks she made. I made lapquilts for my sisters and mother using some of the blocks for Christmas this past year. My avatar pic shoes one of the lapquilts.

I have 3 from a great aunt, a dresden plate in rough shape a sunbonnet sue that was mine when I was little and a baby quilt she gave to my oldest son. I also have a top made for my mom by her mom for her wedding, never finished and not the prettiest, It has a few holes in one of the fabrics, I will finnish it someday!!

My mom has a quilt made by her grandmother, crazy quilt blocks made by her mother and a quilt made by my Dad's mother. I'm hoping at least one will come my way someday. I have the baby quilt my mom made for me. I'll be passing it on to my youngest daughter. (Oldest daughter was the first grandchild and got a quilt made by GM.)

I have a quilt top .. the story according to my mother is: that her mom's grandmother made it, she made three tops and mine is the only one left, the other sisters "lost" theirs along time ago. According to my Aunt Clanny, she said that "granny" didn't make that top. I kind of tend to go with my mothers version as her mother told it to her and she would know best. One of these days I am going to quilt it. It has to be at least 60 years old or my guess, is older.

I have one from my Grandma that she made back in the early 1930's while she was recovering from an accident. It's beautiful and I will treasure it always! :)

We have 1 from DH's grandma.
It's an old bowtie quilt.
It's very heavy.

One of my great grandmothers made this one. It is hand pieced, and I believe that it was quilted at a quilting bee, there is a large variation in the quilting. (Typical of being quilted by many hands).

Pearl crossed Texas in a covered wagon as a girl, and her claim to fame is that she was Bonnie Parker's, (Bonnie & Clyde), 3rd grade school marm.

This quilt was made my another great grandmother who was wheel chair bound for the last few years of her life. After she was diagnosed with terminal cancer she hand pieced 3 tops, this is mine. (My mother has the other 2). She died when her only daughter, my grandmother was only 16. Counting Effie, down to my daughter, that makes 5 generations with one girl child.

I wonder about Effie, I hope she was thinking that one day someone would consider this a treasure.
