This is the quilt I mentioned two posts below. My mom & I made this quilt when I was 5 & 6. I colored the iron-on transfers with paint in tubes (popular in the 70s I don't remember what it is called)
You can see the signature and date on one of the squares. Another shows a closeup on the patches upon patches I have done over the years to hold the quilt together. Other than coloring, I remember tying the knots as it was stretched across the living room floor. I also remember my mom waking us up in the middle of the night a few months later as she was working on another quilt. She had popped her toenail off as she moved furniture to tie another quilt. We had to get up and go with she and dad to the ER.
