This quilt I purchased (gasp!) from JC Penny maybe 15 years ago ... that was way before I knew what quilting was! I loved the floral applique and at this point, could probably make one myself. Maybe, one day, I will.. But, in the meantime... with a simple cotton blanket underneath I happily continue to use it.
Several years ago I hurt my shoulder raising up the garage door. As I rolled around under the covers and got tangled up in blankets I would hurt myself pulling with that shoulder. So, I started sleeping with quilts and blankets pulled up to armpit level but my arms and shoulders would get cold...even with long-sleeved flannel nighty!A few weeks later I was gifted this quilt by a friend who attended auctions to fill her booth at a local consignment shop. She spotted this flimsy and had it quilted for me. I belive it was made with original 1930's sack cloths. I woke up cold again one night and grabbed it to lay over my exposed arms and shoulders. I usually keep it neatly folded on top of my pillow when not in use.
There are some worn spots in the muslin where there was some light staining and I have been eyeing it lately trying to figure out how to repair the damage before it gets any worse.
