My grandmomma had a ministry going making those up until she died a few years back at age 99.....she took cast-off clothing and cut it into as big of squares as she could get and sewed them up into quilt tops...she used poly batting, cotton or poly/cotton backing (think cheap ?-mart fabric, old sheets, whatever she could find or was given to her...she used acrylic yarn to tie them. We still sleep under them!<br /><br />My brother was born in Germany, while my daddy did peace-keeping military duty after WW2 was over...<br /><br />Did I mention I think we might be kindred spirits, lol?!<br /><br />Ok, I will quit filling your comment box. Have a great day!<br />Missuz CMissuz Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784725035959683681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-14192286819296775872011-07-31T21:45:37.235-04:002011-07-31T21:45:37.235-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.jacki83https://www.blogger.com/profile/07571738224415935622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-37676329776684884962011-07-13T13:59:22.293-04:002011-07-13T13:59:22.293-04:00Oh yes, I remember "bullet-proof" polyes...Oh yes, I remember "bullet-proof" polyester double-knits from the 70's ;-) How funny! My poor Mama wore a lot of it to work in the hot, humid Oklahoma summers. I, too, have a quilt she had made that includes some dresses I used to wear that were made of it. Those weren't the days, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-23218493838500368262011-06-16T13:45:26.392-04:002011-06-16T13:45:26.392-04:00Thanks for your sweet comments.

It's beautiful and I love that it reseeds itself. <br /><br />The ice cream makes my mouth water! I could eat more than the kids I know. I make myself stay away from it most of the time Haha. <br /><br />When I was young, a lady in the community who quilted constantly made one for me out of polyester. She backed it with a cotton sheet. It's lasted for 30 years. <br /><br />Love your roses in the last post. Thanks for dropping by last week! ;-)<br /><br />LesleyAnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-89644194861714256782011-06-03T15:24:49.144-04:002011-06-03T15:24:49.144-04:00Oh my that ice cream looks so good!:o) Yummy mint...Oh my that ice cream looks so good!:o) Yummy mints and chocolate boots, perfect!<br /><br />Your quilt is beautiful and holds lovely memories for you, that alone makes it the most beautiful quilt in the world.:o)<br /><br />Happy weekend to you and your family.<br /><br />Smiles♥<br /><br />Beverlytea time and roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386569881819809790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-86987484433729581912011-06-02T15:56:24.123-04:002011-06-02T15:56:24.123-04:00I love the flowers.

I used to always plant it because they didn't need much water. Here(MA) though it's an annual.<br />Love your quilt top. Have you ever thought of backing it with some color coordinating blanket fleece? That would make one warm blanket! Have a great rest of the week. It's been beautiful here today, but tomorrow we are supposed to be back in the muggies :)hakuchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974995854081488052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-76633759723400121822011-05-31T15:24:27.326-04:002011-05-31T15:24:27.326-04:00Well, didn't know you had grandgals!

I know there are many others with superb designs but what makes something handmade great is what is behind it. Those memories are unvaluable. I have an unfinished bedspread that was made through the 70's and 80's by my aunt and then my mother. My job is to finish and use it. Wouldn't it be the loveliest when it's done?<br />Have a great month of June ahead and keep a couple of these mints for you! ;-)Alhanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544336735869368358noreply@blogger.com
