Yes they are real scrap quilts and tied. I did not know how to care for them so they are lumpy. Still lovely to me. My grandmother was a WW1 wife and widow in 1953 I think. People in the town gave them their scraps and she did dress making also. She did make quilts for warmth in Michigan. Being in Texas I didn't need them as much. But my daughter for two years would sleep anywhere as long as she had her quilt. My grandmother made quilts over her life time and tied them on a frame lowered from the ceiling.

I was born in 1955, and my mother trashed the quilts that were handed down from my great-grandmothers. I imagine respect for quilts was at an all-time low, as we were becoming "modern" in the 50's and 60's. Those fabrics are my favorites, reminiscent of things we boomers saw as youngsters.

It would begin a distillation of quilting, down from utilitarian and towards passion and self expression. I am the first quilter in my family since 1935, and I do it purely for love, never for need. Mid-century quilts are an interesting topic and ripe for exploration.
