She called it a "woolen", I'm sure a family name for that type of quilt...at it's core was a quilt her great grandmother had made, her mother had made a new top and back and had used the original as the batting...and finally, she had made both a new top and back, and had used the quilt as the batting. <br /><br />I can recall one very cold night, lying under that quilt with my new baby nursing, and thinking of how special it was that this piece of love had touched all of those generations.<br /><br />I think it's a very good plan for recycling!ACreativeDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987061792709372219noreply@blogger.com
