My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Dolls with quilts
Here are the raggedies for our nieces, with their faux quilts.
The dolls and quilts came out really nice. I like your choice of colors. I spent the day cutting out a quilt and am anxious to get stitching on it.
