Grading Quilts – What to sleep under the what NOT !

I had a questions, “What is a use it Quilt?” I’ve never talked about this before. I kind of grade my quilts, this yellow quilt was a gift, and this is the back of it! I made it to sleep under, use it, love it, wash and dry it.

This is one of my use it quilts, it’s from an auction about 30 years ago, it’s still lovely. It’s all the hand quilting, the batting has held up very well. Right now it’s folded on a chair in our living room and I use it all the time.

These are the next step up, used hand quilted items around my house. I love table topper and have them all around. Most are machine pieced and I have hand quilted them. But they are not washed daily and they are very much in original quality.

Then…used BUT only my me ~ I shared this a few weeks ago. “I” use it. This is my Great-Great Grandmother’s quilt

And then NEVER used, my quilt pattern quilts from The Quilt Ladies Book and from The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop.
Most NOW in Print and on Kindle

Sleeping under Quilts at Grandma’s

They are NOT this size any MORE, they are young men now and this was one of their favorite things to do, watch TV in Grandma and Grandpa’s bed, and sleeping under Grandma’s quilts.

Of course they had to pick a quilt, a show to watch, they would arrange pillows to have the perfect angle to watch and it’s strange it was always about nap time when this all happened ?? Grandparents rule !

The quilt they are sleeping under is the first hankie quilt I ever made, it’s very simple, hankies lined with muslin, straight sashing and borders, and I tied it. I still have and use this quilt, last time it was washing I had to do a lot of repair, the hankies not wearing very well and it’s getting old too !
