I agree with the triple wow! You brought out all the beauty in this piece. Several years back, I was given an antique hand made top with major problems, but a lot of beauty. Right about then I had a chance to ask a qualified appraiser if it would make any difference to the value of the quilt if it were machine or hand quilted. She agreed with me about the beauty and said that the quilting method would not matter to the value, only the quality of that quilting.
What a wonderful gift for that mother!
