The quilts were stored in a trunk. The oldest one was on the bottom and has some staining, maybe from being against the wood of the trunk. I don't plan to save all the newspaper pieces, but want to preserve the ones with dates and a few other interesting ones. (One has some hilarious quotes from kids test answers, like..."Pompay was destroyed by an eruption of saliva from the Vatican." My sister and I laughed 'til we cried over that one!) She wants the quilts made where she can use them as her mother would have wanted. So I will do my best. I think they have the means to make it worth my while, though I know I could never charge what it would be really worth per hour. But I'm excited about helping her preserve her mother's loving stitches. Thanks for your opinions.
