That is so pretty! I remember seeing those quilts in stores and in the magazines and would tell myself one day I would make one and so far have not done it. It is wonderful that you are taking such great care of it while using it at the same time. After all, what good does it do to keep in put away all the time?
While visiting my grandmother (she was 90 at the time) and I was getting out some fine china to use, and I asked since it was the good china if we should use it, her response was, "Why not? Who is goodder than we are?" So when my mom got out the nice table cloth she said, "There's no one nicer than we are either." It was one of those memories that we refer to all the time.

Beautiful treasure.....and it's wonderful that you are preserving it.....so many of theses kind of treasures end up in estate sales, selling for pennies on the dollar value, not to mention the disinterest of heirs........
