This is the quilt that started it all for me.
I had made pretty much all my clothes in high school, prom dresses to night gowns. After our boys arrived, I cross stitched and then moved to quilting. I started making quilted pillows first.
In 1984 we moved to Burlington, IA for Husband’s work and I went to a few quilt classes, auctions and was learning about quilting at every turn. I share this pin wheel quilt block this week too HERE

On a visit down to see us, my mother arrived with this quilt for me. As a child I’d never seen it, never heard anything about it. 
My Great-great grandmother had made it for my mother. Mom remembers helping with cutting of the fabric and helped pump the sewing machine. It’s machine pieced and hand quilted. 
The off blocks are done in a spider web quilt design.The blocks are outline quilted
The edge and it’s tiny stitches. This quilt is never used.
I have it out on a bed, I just like to looking at it and “I” do use it…All the time
