With spring beginning to show itself, I put this quilt on our bed yesterday. This is an old family quilt passed down through generations so I rarely get it out. But yesterday it was saying "Use me! Use me!" Every time I walk into the room it makes me happy. I imagine that each scrap of fabric once belonged on a dress, a shirt, or an apron of an old-time family member. I like to explore the possibilities of what kinds of toys they played with or food they made wearing that "scrap." Maybe someday I'll make a quilt like this for my children to pass down. Maybe.
