My Father's Marriage Quilt

This is the only quilt top I have made by my grandmother. It was my father's marriage quilt. My grandmother made it sometime between 1926, when my father was born, and 1947, when my parents were married.

My grandmother gave my mother the quilt top in the mid seventies.

I received the quilt top in 2002 when my mother passed away. I quilted the top to honor both my mother and grandmother. Both are missed.

The top is made from very small pieces of fabric and is hand pieced.
