I saw a quilt like that at a quilt show recently, that family could tell you where each piece of fabric came from as each person added to it over time. Amazing!

Oh my, what you did to save these beautiful blocks is wonderful. I've had a couple of quilts that were hand sewn by my DH's Grandmother back in the late 30's. The borders and bindings have seen better days. We found them in 2001up in the attic of the home my husband was born and raised in, so they also have stains in the borders that I can't get out. What you have done has now inspired me, that there is something I can do with them, and then pass them on to my DH's GD's when they start their families. The blocks themselves are in great shape. Thanks so much for sharing your remade quilt!
