OOOO HOW NICE AND THOUGHTFUL IT REALLY IS AN AWESOME QUILT.THANKS FOR SHARING

Absolutely beautiful. I just received my family tree from my 81 year old Aunt (who still works full time for a plumbing company). It shows that I am related to the founder of Ryder Trucks and also John Adams and John Quincy Adams. This quilt portrays the sacrifices made by many in our past.
