I’ve shown this quilt before. It was a Home Ec project from 1980. Unfortunately I think I lost it around 1989-1990 when when we were living in Alabama, although I’m still holding into the dream that that it’s in a box in the basement. If it is I’ll find it in the next two weeks.
A couple of years ago I found the scraps from the quilt. These have been packed – although I’m not 100% certain which box they are in. But look at what I discovered last night.
It’s my original drawing for the quilt. I also have the receipt for the fabric.
$22 in 1980 would be $60 ish dollars today.
I got no credit for the quilting since I didn’t tie the quilt. But I still got an A on the project. And yes, I was proud of this quilt. I used it and washed it to the point the batting was rolling up inside the quilt. Not enough quilting to keep the two sections of batting together and I didn’t know how to fix it. Once I gained enough experience to know how to fix it, I realized I had lost the quilt.
But now I have enough information I can recreate the quilt.
