Well count me among the old ladies because I too love it. My mother had gotten 2 twin size quilts at an auction among some other stuff in the lot when I was about 15. She asked me if I wanted them and I said no, they were lavender and white; now I would like to have kept them. We change as we grow I guess, because now I like purples and quilts. The quilting is beautiful, you could do a quilt for me any time.
