March 20 was National Quilting Day, and Leona had taken out the vintage quilt that had been lingering in the linen closet for years. It was in rough shape and could use some repairs.
Holly came in to see what her Mom was doing...
"What's this? It looks really old."
"It's an old quilt."
"Your Dad's grandmother made it almost a hundred years ago."
"It sure looks messy, and nothing like the quilts you make."
"Well, in his grandmother's day they didn't have all the nice fabrics we have today."
"In fact fabric was hard to come by, so quilts were usually made from sewing scraps and old clothes."
"Well, they sure must have worn some colourful clothes back then."
