So happy that you have found these treasures. They remind me of a couple that my DH's aunt made and we were able to purchase. So many of the older quilts were made from the good parts of old clothing that could no longer be worn. I know my DH can remember some of the parts in our quilt being his aunt's apron or sunday dress. I'm not sure the quilts I make will be as cherished as some of these older ones but I do try to put information on my quilts so there won't be so many unanswered questions once I'm gone. Do write down the information you have about your quilts and keep it with the quilts. Your children will enjoy reading the stories.... history of their family.
