My grandmother made me one when I was growing up. I keep it in storage now because of the sentimental value associated with it.

I've got one made in the 1860's. I inherited it and it's not in very good shape, but it's still here.

Onkel Josef brought us a unique one from the old country. It was an interesting patchwork, but the 'fabric' was what made it unique.

Two. My mother gave me one that she and my father received as a wedding gift, and the mother of my high school girlfriend made me one when I got married. Both are gone now, but I remember them fondly. I've had an idea for making one, but have never pulled the trigger and done it.

Practically yes but technically no - We have several from my husband's maternal grandmother.

I have 2 from my great grandma who went into a nursing home. They are beautiful though, and I truly cherish these quilts. I also have a quilt from my other grandma who made it for me when I was a baby. My dad brought it to the hospital when I had my daughter, so she too could use it :)

My grandma loved to quilt. Whenever she wasn't doing something else, she was always working on quilt pieces. She made each of her grandchildren (over 20) a quilt during the 80s. Some of them had embroidered blocks (birds and flowers of all 50 states). She started with the oldest first, and since I'm one of her youngest grandchildren, I was one of the last to get one. I helped her with the sewing/piecing part but she did all the binding and quilting of it. Also have old quilts made by relatives on both my mom and dad's side of the family going back to the late 1800s.
