and YES, those are stains toward the bottom. Just the way we received it. I am guessing it is iron stains. We just recently got city water here, last fall.
And this is one of the ones she sent to ohio (I think) to have machine quilted.

Miranda,
What beautiful treasures you have.
I have an "old maid" quilt that my great aunt made for me. She figured I was in my late 20s and I'd never get married but I should have one of her quilts. :lol: I feel so lucky to have one of her quilts.
Quilts all have a story that make them even more special
Your very sweet for sharing your quilts with us.

Soooooooo beautiful!! I would give my eye teeth (good ole WV saying, right?) to have some of the quilts from my ancestors. Being a girl child I got pots/pans set of glasses and a pitcher, and a planter from dad's family. sigh The good stuff went to all the male grands or the male children. But I'm not bitter, at least I HAVE something from back then.
But your quilts are so so so so beautiful. Can you tell me more about eh quilting with yarn? Was it all pieced with yarn, too? hmmm, must have taken a year.
Love 'em,
Sharon
