gosh thanks for the welcome. A quilter I know suggested i post a photo of it on a quilt forum. I am not a quilter.. a pianist, but I do hope I will be able to quilt some day.
I love art. I really should give it back to my brother, but he would just sell it. He still insists he doesn't want it tho. I probably will give it back to him in some way. he has cancer and has 5 kids.
It has quite a few religious symbols sewn into it. I'm thinking a church's quilting guild made it for their pastor. I have absolutely no other ideas of where it came from.
