Thanksgiving 2003 - the family quilt

Family Quilt 2003 was finished, and we hoped to make the family quilt a yearly tradition. The rules for 2004: no cousin or cousin-in-law is too distantly related to enter, woven fabric only, and include a note with a few sentences about your fabric’s story. The challenge for 2004 was an all silk quilt, inspired by our first entry: a pair of Reb Hanukkah’s silk boxers.
