When my mother was a little girl, her godmother made this pink and white quilt for her. It was used on her bed while she was growing up. When I was a child, this quilt was used on my bed as a heavier layer in winter. Whenever I was sick, this would be what I pulled onto the sofa to cuddle up with. This family quilt reminds me of comfort, and childhood, and home!
