My quilt of patches cut square <br />all sewed together by hand <br />not a piece matches but share <br />the same perimeter band <br />the edge of fine lace <br />of peculiar design <br />all sewed into place <br />on this quilt of mine <br />my old shirt a piece <br />her old skirt for fleece <br />all together as built <br />that makes it a quilt <br />its a beauty to see <br />but what makes it special to me <br />each and every strand <br />is that my wife made it for me <br />by her loving hand<br /><br />ERNEST CLARY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-patchwork-quilt/
