One needs repairs where piecing threads have broken. I promised I would fix it and return to him. We have several family members that would love the quilts!! He had several --two sun bonnet Sues made by his mother and one other rag quilt as he called it. All are almost perfect. I would have loved them but he gave me the one he liked best. I did tell him I would add a small label with his mothers name and dates so she would not be forgotten by nieces and nephews. He was happy for that!!! I just had to share!!:o

Thank you so much for giving it a me a name of the pattern! It is definitely a string version and the colors are so beautiful!! The quilt I will be repairing for him is also a string quilt-- 3 strings per block.

What a wonderful gift your BIL gave you. I know you will cherish it.

It is beautiful and you are so lucky to have it. What a BIL.

It is beautiful!! How lucky you are to have a BIL that would entrust you with such an heirloom.

He obviously knows you will treasure and care for it.
