It went to a good friend of mine from college whose daughter was born not long after a move to Oregon. They're now in Japan, so the quilt has seen more of the world than I have!! :D Someday, I think my kids will have fun going through it. Just remember to take better pix than I did :lol:
quilts are such herilooms and each one has so much hard work and love poured into them and I believe each one has a very unique story to tell...I have bought some from antque stores and often wondered first of all who was crazy enough to get rid of them and second who made them and how long ago and how far have they travled etc....
