Default A forty year old trunk revels some treasures

My BIL is moving to assisted living at age 86. He is going through his things. These quilts were in a trunk that he has not opened in over 40 years. He gave them to me to see if they coud be saved. These have only minor issues-need to be cleaned. Thought I would share and request your help In block id. Thanks !! [ATTACH=CONFIG]387300[/ATTACH]

They are beautiful, and look like they have been barely used if at all. What a real treasure chest!

Wow! These are the real works of art...cut with newspaper patterns and scissors and probably all hand pieced and quilted. These are treasures!
