My grandmother loved pink. She also loved sewing and gardening. She could get anything to grow.
I own a large bed quilt that she made. As a child I would stay with her and sleep under it. It has that very familiar feel. There were originally 2 of them. I think the other has probably been destroyed, but I am not sure.
Below are 2 items that she created and I proudly now keep safe.
This is the pink quilt. It is full size and has a thin batt. It is also in very good shape. It was made in the very late 1940's or the very early 1950's.
This is the quilt my grandmother made for me and my dolls. It is all handmade. I know it was given to me when I was about 3. I am 54. She taught me how to sew and crochet. I will always have that.

True treasures! I love the old no pattern patchworks like your doll quilt. They seem to be the type most often made by my family.
