[quote=madamekelly]There is a national project going on to document quilts in America. Our local group is currently doing this in connection with the national project. Google - www.quiltproject.org to find when they will be near you. /quote]
What a wonderful heirloom! I know you treasure it immensely.
As an aside, I couldn't find www.quiltproject.org, but I found www.thequiltproject.org. The website does NOT mention quilts that I could find, it talks about interviewing organic farmers.
