Thank you all so much for your repies! I have passed them on to my sister. And I am waiting to see what she would like to do. The house and farm where they came from are going up for auction. It may be too late to add the quilts in this time around. The link to the quilt histories was very interesting! And I have actually never heard the batting referred to as wadding. Now I know! But you are right. That is what it looks like. I wish so much I knew the history. We are almost positive they are from North Carolina. And my sister's first guess was the 1860s to 1880s. That ties in well with the link.
Hopefully I will eventually be able to update with interesting information!
Thanks again!
