My great grandmother, Daisy Carlile, was a very frugal woman who lived through the Depression. Everything was saved and reused. This quilt was made from scraps of pants, jackets and coats. The batting is a World War II army blanket. She was a fine seamstress and would have considered this quilt very utilitarian, not worthy of a show. I have always loved this quilt and it has been well used by my family, often as a picnic blanket. Wool suiting, hand embroidered and tied.
