So the significance would be that most of these scraps would match items of clothing and other things sewn by family members. I always thought that was so neat.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-9501593168028165882010-03-16T16:52:52.802-07:002010-03-16T16:52:52.802-07:00Greta, I love quilts and this one is absolutely be...Greta, I love quilts and this one is absolutely beautiful.

Now I have to figure out a way to safely display the other two.

I had forgotten I guess the history of it. I had used and it seem so old and yellowed. I thought well mom always used bleach and I washed it and used extra bleach. And it was ripped here and there, mother in law thought my mom a quilter could fix it. Mom didn't want to try. So I guess i made it worse. I knew I had done something wrong as soon as sister-in-law got a look and asked me again what I did.
