Many years ago when grandma was a girl of sweet sixteen
She began to make the sweetest patchwork quilt you've ever seen
All the years that followed after, draw her pretty patterns draw
Every piece of silk and lace recalling days of long ago

In the patchwork quilt that grandma made
There's velvet, silk and rich brocade
Every night on the bed it lay, the pretty little patchwork quilt
There's a patch of red, a patch of blue, a touch of black or grand cartouche

Souvenirs of a love so true in the pretty little patchwork quilt
When twilight is falling how tenderly her hands caress
A fragment of pattern that was taken from her wedding dress

Now the patchwork quilt is old and frail
But every patch that grandma made
Brings a gleam that will never fade
From the pretty little patchwork quilt

Every night on the bed it lay
The pretty little patchwork quilt

Souvenirs of a love so true in the pretty little patchwork quilt
When twilight is falling how tenderly her hands caress
A fragment of pattern that was taken from her wedding dress

Now the patchwork quilt is old and frail
But every patch that grandma made
Brings a gleam that will never fade
From the pretty little patchwork quilt

From the pretty little patchwork quilt
