Not everyone appreciates the many hours that are put into quilting. My wonderful sister-in-law put a beautiful quilt down and let her dog deliver puppies on it. Another sister-in-law put a beautiful quilt down in a greasy uhaul and put all of their "prized posessions" on it! ugh, the nerve. Both of these quilts were hand quilted by my mother. It has to be something special for me to even let my hand quilted quilts lay on a bed made by my mother! Glad you saved it!
