I love old quilts like this -- and when you think of the time involved in making them, it makes them all the more special. I have a similar one that my great-grandmother and grandmother pieced.

You should have it appraised. A good appraiser can probably put a pretty close date to it.
Congratulations, you are blessed!

The placement of those 9-Patch squares provides an orderliness to this quilt that gives it Dignity, beyond simply being a scrappy onepatch. A wonderful gift.

I will never understand why family members don't see the value in preserving their own history!

Now it will become part of your family history. It is beautiful and will continue to be well loved!
