1973, My First quilt

Way back in 1973 when at the tender age of 19, I made my first patch work quilt. It was pieced by hand and then tied. Used an old sheet for the backing and thought I had created a masterpiece. When looking at the picture one has to wonder if I actually wore clothes made out of some of those fabrics and to be honest I am pretty sure I did. That little quilt was on my bed until I was married in 1978. Not only did I make a quilt, but just look at that pillow sham behind my neices head ! It has a big snail appliqued on it.
I suspect the quilt and the sham went perfectly with my Peter Max sheets ! My neice sure looked like she was laughing pretty hard about something in the picture. She is a delightful young woman now, accompished in so many areas.
