My first quilt was made when I was in Jr High. I hated study hall so asked if I could go to the Home Ec room and sew on those times.( remember Home Ec class?) they said yes. my mom worked with polyester dress fabrics in a factory and brought home scraps. I cut them into squares and sewed the squares together. then I think I put a blanket in the middle and a sheet for the back and pillowcased it.(no binding) then I tied it together with white yarn. so pretty! get the picture? well, this quilt lasted FOREVER and was ugly but it won me the Home Ec award and was the backdrop of our fashion show at school.
