The Pretty Little Patchwork Quilt 1938

Many years ago when Grandma
was a girl of sweet sixteen
She begun to make
the sweetest patchwork quilt
you've ever seen.
All the years that followed after
saw her pretty pattern grow
Ev'ry piece of silk and lace
recalling days of long ago.

In the patchwork quilt
that Grandma made
There's velvet, silk, and rich brocade
Ev'ry night on the bed it's laid
The pretty Little Patchwork Quilt.
There's a patch of red,
a patch of blue,
a touch of black for grandpa too,
Souvenirs of a love so true
in the pretty little patchwork quilt.
When twilight is falling
how tenderly her hands caress
a fragment of satin
that was taken from her wedding dress.
Now the patchwork quilt
is old and frayed
but ev'ry patch that Grandma made
brings a dream that
will never fade
from the pretty little patchwork quilt.
