I hand pieced a Grandmas Flowergarden,approx. 20 years ago. long story short,GD just crawling,fell in love with it. When finished I gave it to her. Remember hand pieced and hand quilted. She is married and 20 something. Sstill takes it every where with her. Beach,picnics and of course when she married, her mother said that quilt was one of the first things that was picked to go. I love that Girl. So just use your usual care and do the best you can. Jo
