Without photos, someone copied the pattern by drawing it. Maybe they sent to drawing to someone they knew who loved applique or made one themselves when they got home. Somehow the memory and the drawing were just a little different than the original which<br />shows in the variations.

One woman had the money for the fabric; one woman the time to make the quilt, so the quiltmaker made two identical quilts, one for each. They called it Quilting On Shares. We still do it in my sewing groups, although our attention spans aren't long enough to do two identical quilts.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-2538528712248860352010-11-09T22:52:33.440-06:002010-11-09T22:52:33.440-06:00I was in Houston last week and was on one of the q...I was in Houston last week and was on one of the quilt store tours when the tour guide asked if anyone knew about the twin quilts. Apparently her grandmother was not a quilter but gave all the leftover fabrics from clothing, curtains and such to a relative who made two quilts each time she received fabrics from this lady. She kept one quilt for herself and gave the other quilt to the lady who gave her the fabrics. Many years later the tour guide and her mother found one of the quilts in an antique store in Houston and the mom immediately recognized the fabrics as pieces of her dresses and kitchen curtains etc. They did not buy the quilt at the time and still wish they had. The story came to my mind while reading your blog. Sylvia in B.C.
