Oh so nice! I'm glad they're in great shape for their age, as my grandmothers quilt were either chewed up by mice or the "hunter boys" didn't properly put them up after use but I did manage to get two before she passed away and mine are in good shape but stored in space bag. I will pass it on to granddaughter when the time is right.

To be able to receive these from your past is awesome. What a treasure you have. I am very happy for you.

I hope your have had them appraised and insured. They are beautiful...the simplicity of the fabric choices is so calming...even the cute scrappy! I'll wager these have not been washed frequently...... Have you considered loaning them to quilt museum for display?
