The first quilt?
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)?
