My grandmother made and gave this quilt to my mom and dad when they got married 64 years ago. My mom called it a wedding ring quilt. Not sure if that is correct but for now, that's what we'll call it.
At one time this quilt was being used regularly but it has been retired to a shelf in the top of a closet. There are a few more up there as well. :D

I didn't even think about checking to see if it was applique but I'm pretty sure whatever it is was all hand sewn. The batting is more than likely homemade. My grandparents were share croppers on a cotton farm. My mom started picking cotton when she was five years old along with her older brothers and sisters.

How nice to still have a quilt in such good shape. I don't think it should be retired to the top shelf, maybe to a quilt rack, or the back of a chair that doesn't really get used, to pretty to be on a shelf. :)
