Great quilts! The only one I think might be able to name is the third one and maybe Pine Burr?

What a treasure to come to you. Do you know who might have made them? Your Mom, possibly??

He said His Mother made them. She was born 1888 died 1968. Walker County Al. He packed the trunk when she died. When he was growing up, quilts were made for use. They didn't buy "Store bought". These they thought were not good enough to use. They do have small issues. I wouldn't "use" them but will display them.
