Quilt came out special. Age has a way of allowing us to see the treasures so much better.

Thank you for sharing you story. I am in the process of taking out quilting from a quilt I made 28 years ago. It was half quilted and I. Did like the way it was coming out. I will now take out what's left and have it quilted. It's hard work but you have given me encouragement .

What a sweet story. I am glad you did not get rid of it. I cherish the quilts my grandmother made for me. I got three from her and have three children, who each received one. I treasure them. I can't get the girls to use theirs. Hope they take them out some day and use them.

What ingenuity she used to put those squares together in the Jacob's Ladder blocks.
You were so wise to finish it.

What a beautiful scrappy quilt and a family treasure! I couldn't imagine a 50 year old UFO, but I have one, too, that was given to me by my great aunt for my high school graduation. Not 50 years yet, but not too far behind!

What a wonderful treasure. I hope that you will please either put a pocket on the back and put the story in it - or write it with permanent marker and stitch on - so that future owners will know the wonderful history of this quilt.....It is such a great story that is worth having it be remembered, don't you think?

So glad you pushed forward and saved this quilt, great story and a great quilt!
