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.
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!
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

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

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.
Lovely! Quilts are the best!! xx
