I remember those days, when hubby was in the Marines just a few months home from Viet Nam and we lived in Hawaii. Everyone thought I was so lucky...LOL. If they only knew! We lived on canned soup and mac and cheese and didn't have a car. We walked everywhere we went. I didn't know about quilting but my mom sent me yarn and I chrocheted...a LOT.

And I love the story behind it, I hope your son realizes he has a family heirloom in his hands!<br /><br />My grandmother used blankets as batting because the only "real" batting she could get was non-washable wool. To wash quilts that had this wool inside you had to untie the whole thing and wash separately.<br />So when she made quilts for us kids she decided to use the blankets to make them more user friendly<br />I still cherish the one she made for me...<br /><br />thanks for sharing your quilt!<br /><br />SheilaCSheilaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524906178087552513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296252131082397.post-39691204506744996262009-12-26T23:20:20.511-05:002009-12-26T23:20:20.511-05:00Love the quilt.
