I have several quilts that were hand made by great great relatives. My grandma grew up on a ranch and my grandpa on a farm through the Great Depression. They didn’t make things to be pretty or perfect. They were made with scraps and made to be used. They were made to last.
These quilts don’t fit right on our bed. Some of them are oddly shaped. Like this one that is way longer than it is wide. It’s a little frustrating. I want to use them, but they don’t provide full bed coverage and don’t look as emaculate as the comforters. They are fine for covering up my cold toes, but they don’t cover the bed completely and so, don’t look as pretty.
But the quilts have a unique history store bought comforters don’t have, and they are a perfect weight. They keep me warm and cozy. So I couldn’t put my bed on the cover of a Better Homes & Gardens. But how many of those covers have a family history covering the beds?
