Quilts and Rag Rugs

Do you love quilts and rag rugs? They are colorful reminders of the past. I have a "Grandma's Flower Garden" quilt that my mother started about eighty years ago. The quilt pieces were about the size of a postage stamp! She had gotten the quilt top pieced over the years, but about 20 years ago I took the quilt top and finished it...hand stitching the quilting myself. It took me seven years! Of course there were what seemed like a billion pieces!
Grandma had a rag rug that was much like the one described in "Nan's Journey."
