Wow, but it is a shame that you don't at least have it on display somewhere... That is just beautiful!

You should have this documented. Many states have a documentation team. Check with a local quilt guild to find out about it. They take pictures and get all the information they can about it. Who,what, where, when, and why. It becomes part of the state quilt history. They also like to have some information about the quilter. Write down as much as you know about your grandmother and keep it with the quilt.
Having the picture is also valuable in case the quilt (God forbid) it is stolen.
This is a beautiful quilt and a wonderful treasure.

Too beautiful to squirrel away!! Open a bureau drawer and spill it out; cascade it down the front of your piano; or drape it over a living room chair --- but please don't hide it away, every again!!!

Wow, that is just lovely. There's something about those OLD quilts...handstitched....that is just so special. The edging is beautiful, too--never seen that on a Dresden plate before!

Wow this one brought back many memories of my own grandmother. She made many quilts and passed her talent on to a few of us. I love the way it is quilted in stright lines, that was the in thing 40 years ago, there was no quilting each block or a fancy design , She quilted the quilt to stay put for many years hold on to the memory
