    I remember my grandma use to make quilts like that with her left over materials. I always thought them very colorfull. Yours is great. Looks just like my granny's. Nice job.

    Reminds me of laundry day when I was a kid. It looks kind of like clothes hanging on the clothesline. Thanks for the memory!

    It makes me think of a woman sitting by the fire hand sewing left over scraps of cloth together to keep her family warm through the winter. A time before TVs and internet when everything went into surviving another year. A quilt or throw like this would add color into s drab world.
