I’m a lone wolf when it comes to my immediate family and quilting. I think this is the case for many quilters so Amy’s post about her Family Quilts from Amy ala mode blog stood out. Amy is very lucky to have a family heritage of quilting. Even her dad has quilted!

Click on a quilt name (she has them neatly organized in rows underneath the photo) and you get more information about it. See beautiful examples of Double Wedding Ring, Nine Patch, LeMoyne Star, etc,. Be sure and check out her dad’s variation of Grandmother’s Garden and her Great Grandma Roloff’s Hearts & Gizzards Baby Quilt.

I have a fifteen year old niece who has recently taken up knitting. I cannot wait to do a quilt with her some day.
