This quilt is a treasure that was given to me by my birth mom who I didn't meet until I was 45 years old. The quilt was made by her mother (my grandmother), Deora Ann Myers Aycock, around 1950. The patches on the quilt are of fabric from my birth mom's childhood clothes, which is very touching to me. Equally wonderful is the back of the quilt, hand stitched in red and made from flour sacks dyed pink. (You can see the word 'Enriched' in the second photo.)
