Snow White puts them in

Snow White puts them in around 1939 and after. Quilting was popular in the depression because of the shortage of money. They used up fabric scraps and finished quilt kits that had been put away because they were too hard decades earlier. I am seeing that going on now. The traditional quilt block patterns bring in views from google searches for that pattern.

Thanks, trkingmomoe! I

Thanks, trkingmomoe! I appreciate the re-blogs! (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an uptick in views!) Your quilting blog got me remembering some quilts from my childhood. They must have been from the 1930's or possibly 1940's. They were made of cotton and we used them mostly during the Summer when my sister and I would sleep in my parent's bedroom because it had the air conditioner. I suspect the quilts were Depression-era because of the odd collection of fabrics, which included pieces with Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs characters on them. I will have to check with my sister and see if she still has them. (I hope so. They were made, if I recall correctly by my mother's mother, who passed away just a few months after I was born.)

As always a great set of

As always a great set of thoughtful writing. I enjoyed it.

I hope you got a spike in your stats at wordpress for the reblog I did.
