Update. The lady for whom I made the quilt is going to document some information about the various signers and plans to donate the quilt to the historical museum in the county where this town is along with the information she puts together. She worked in the local HM here for years so knows what kind of info they'd like to have. She was wondering what would happen to the quilt after she is gone and seemed pleased with the idea of making it a museum gift. I think she will enjoy the process of writing down memories as well.
PS--I did put an informative label on the quilt when I made it.
