This quilt is well over 65 years old. My Grandma and Grandpa were dirt floor poor as they say. My Grandma was making this quilt for the sole purpose of warmth for one of her 10 kids, not for display but for everyday use. A few years ago my daddy gave this to me. I am so glad that I have this heirloom. I love the stitching on this quilt.
