I still have some that my mom made from scraps too. All the fabric left
over from the clothes we sewed for ourselves went into them. She also used
factory cut aways that an aunt got for her in the CA garment district (many
years ago now)

LOL I went into the local quilt shop in Mena Arkansas this past month to
look at some of the FINE artwork done on them. I fell in love with a wedding
ring type quilt, ALL hand quilted by local mormons and WOW were they nice :)
The lowest price in the shop was 1600.00 for hand sewn quilts, and they go
FAST there too. I have not seen one stay longer then a month in their shop
:)
Connie took over two months on her first quilt (learning experience) and wow
was it nice when it was finished. we also took it to be longarmed when the
top was finished, and it still cost us over 450.00 to do it ourselves.
I think a lot of people will go WOW to the prices of "real quilts" but the
quality is much better. My mother made me a quilt when I was 14, now my
oldest son has it, and believe it or not its still useable with OVER 300
washings in the past (***) years. (not giving up my age LOL)
