I don't normally say this but, "OMG". What a precious treasure you have . It's stunning. I have in my possession a quilt top that my grandmother made it contains so many mistakes that need to be fixed but I just love it. It is all hand done and I can just see her bending over to work on it. Some of the blocks are coming apart. I want to preserve it as is and I am not sure how to do that. You are so lucky to have this quilt. How many daughters do you have? BrendaK
