The comforts of home!

I can't tell you when or where I got this quilt, it's always just been around for as long as I can remember. For the Mundane Blanket Challenge.
We have a few like this, very heavy and warm on those cold nights

@digitalrn This one isn't very heavy, but it's quite warm. The other night, we have a friend pass through the area and spend the night at our house. I realized that this was the only "normal" blanket we had that wasn't already on a bed. I don't think my boys' old superhero throws would work for a man who's 6'4! LOL!

I have a very similar one that belonged to my DH. Nothing mundane about a quilt thou.

What a pretty quilt. It looks like it could be a family heir loom. Good shot for the challenge.

@lynnilou Thanks!
@joansmor I agree. I'm envious of their talent in making them. A skill I've always wanted to learn, but never had the time.
@digitalrn I could have given him two, one for his legs and one for his upper body! LOL!
@juliedduncan Thanks!
@swilde Thanks!
@olivetreeann It is. I have no idea how far it goes back, though. Probably belonged to one of my grandmothers. I know my maternal grandmother was a quilter.

I have had lessons and made a few quilts. I keep thinking when I retire I may get back into it. I am a hand quilter. Can't afford those fancy machines though I would love one.

@joansmor I think that if I ever get around to assembling the quilt pieces my grandmother made when I was born, I'll do it by hand also. I'm much better at sewing by hand then by machine! LOL!
@skippysue @paulam Thanks!
