Such a wonderful heritage, something to pass down through future generations that will give them that wonderful sense of family.

Your old family quilts are wonderful and what a great treasure to have. I'm so happy for you that they were given to you as you appreciate them. So nice that you know their history, too. Wonderful memories for your family!

You have such treasures! I have my grandfather's quilt -- it is about 125 years old and was machine pieced.
