It will be treasured in my home for sure! If nothing more, it was my mother's. I know her great-grandmother was a quilter. One of my distant cousins has a quilt that she made. She passed away in 1905. Not sure this one is that old... maybe someone on here with more fabric knowledge can date the fabric. Otherwise, I'm unaware of anyone in the family quilting. Now I'm trying! Maybe a recessed gene?
