Vintage quilt













This quilt was on my bed when I was a teenager. I used to lounge on it wearing my shoes. Now it hangs on a quilt rack in my bedroom. It was made by one of my great great (not sure how many greats) grandmothers and it is beautiful.

That is gorgeous! It looks like it belongs in a museum.

I think it's funny that you recall lounging on it with your shoes on... I'm assuming that you think of doing that now, and CRINGE--your great great probably would have wanted you to love it and be comfortable on it. What a treasure!

Gorgeous & I love the personal history. I'm wishing I had our old family afghan. Not much survives a family of 12 though. I have no idea where it is.
