This signature quilt was made in Texas in the late 70's early 80's by Karen's Husbands Gran.
The family discovered this coverlet (because the top was hemmed -so it was probably used as a coverlet) in a box recently, and decided to finish it and use it. The family is having a lot of fun researching the names they didn't immediately know (most are family), and looking into histories.
I had a lot of fun looking at all the fabrics as I quilted. There is a little bit of everything in there--polyesters, cottons, plaids, kerchief prints.
and yes, that quilt is as big as it looks on my king size bed. It is 100x100.
I think, if I got the right signature here, Lydia was the maker of the quilt. A simple meander tied it all together.
What an honour to work on such a precious piece.
