I have several other quilts that I have purchased here and there. I am always looking for a bargain and usually pay $25 or less.
A double wedding ring

This quilt was given to me from a friend--she got it at an auction

I bought this one at a quilt show---it was made in the late 1800s in either Maryland or Pennsylvania

I'm so happy this thread was started. I have a quilt that my grandma made back in the early 1930's. She had been in a terrible accident and made this quilt while she was recouperating from her injuries. To my surprise and delight my uncle gave me the quilt several years ago. The following year he gave me the matching pillows. The quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted with teeny-tiny stitches. I didn't even know Grandma quilted until I saw this. Sure wish I would have known before she passed away in 2000. As far as I know this is the only quilt she made. It is something I will treasure forever! Oh, I also want to add that the hope chest at the foot of the bed also belonged to my Grandma. My grandpa gave it to her when she was about 19 years old when they were sweethearts. :) It's filled with all sorts of items she made from embroidered tablecloths and pillow cases to crocheted doilies. She was definately my inspiration for the love of crafting I have today.

Cheri---How beautiful!! And what a treasure it is for you to own the only quilt your grandmother ever made. Be sure to document it in some way so that others in your family will know where it came from after you are gone.

This is one my grandmother made. It was wrapped in a paper dated around 1930. It was just a top and my DD had it finished and quilted. I don't know the pattern. If anyone can tell me I would appreciate it. It's all hand quilted.

I will get a photo of the one that my Grandma made as I finally got to see it in December. My parents has it and never had shown it to me. Also my grandma lived 3 hours after I was born to know that she had a new granddaughter. So sad!
