When I was growing up, I thought everyone had a stack of quilts in their closet.
 |
Hearts. |
Some were used on the beds, and some were used to just throw around.
 |
Max models a Lilly Pulitzer patchwork. | |
|
Sometimes, you used a quilt as a picnic blanket.
 |
Double Wedding Ring. |
Sometimes, you used a quilt to pack furniture when you moved.
 |
Grandmother's Flower Garden. |
Only in recent years have I realized that my grandmother has sewn me an entire gallery of heirloom art.
 |
Dresden Plate. |
|
|
|
And some will be used,
 |
"Scarlett's Barbecue." |
while others are displayed,
 |
Morning Glory |
and still others serve a utility.
 |
Max's very own quilt. |
|
 |
Sophie gets her diva on. |
But they all remind me of my Appalachian heritage
