Never had one til I started making them. Actually, that's why I started
making them. I still don't have one for my bed (cept an old store
bought...it's falling apart, of course).

I envy people who had quilters in their family.

In an e-mail replying to Diana's thread about getting started in quilting,
Julie said she always had a quilt in her life thanks to her Grandmother.
That got me to thinking (a dangerous thing at this time of day when I'm
tired from work!). What's the first quilt you remember in your life?

Like Julie, mine was one from Grandma. It was a Trip Around The World in
fabric from the 30s and 40s (I'm guessing on that part). I remember it
being
on my bed upstairs in the old farmhouse we lived in, and I'd sit and trace
each "trip" with my finger. I'm sure it was hand quilted, and I just loved
that quilt! When I finally learned to quilt in the 80s, TATW was my first
project, and I think it might still be my favorite pattern.

So what's the first quilt you remember (even if it was from just last
year)?
