That is a terrible situation, Harriet, but unfortunately, it is probably not uncommon. At our church meeting the other night, our missions director talked about needs in our community and mentioned a common theme of “grandma needs help paying the light bill because grandson, his girlfriend, and their baby are all living off grandma.”
I thought the quilt might be a wedding present! When I got married, I asked my paternal grandmother to make me a double wedding ring quilt. She did, and swore she’d never do another, LOL! But of course, both my girl cousins got one also. She did not like all the tiny pieces though. I think she would cut and pin them on little strips of newspaper— does that sound right?
At any rate, it’s the thickest quilt I own, and the one I always want when I’m sick. I’ve taught the dgrands too, that every thing feels better when you wrap up in the “Mama L quilt.”
When I’m not using it, it is displayed on a chair in the bedroom.
