Beautiful quilt! And lucky you for being able to finish it. It's a labor of love, truly.

I am the lucky recipient of 3 of my Great Grandmother's quilt tops. These are extra special since she originally got me started in quilting (I was very young!) They were made in the 1950's, and I discovered them in my father's attic in August of 2011. I am slowly restoring them, painstakingly, mostly by hand. It is a true labor of love. Two will go to each of my sisters, and I will keep the third. I've been working with a professional quilt restorer to achieve good results. The result will be the work of two generations, and yes, that will be noted on a label on the back.
