You did an excellant job of restoring it. What would happen if you hadn't done this? The next in line would probably pitch it. I love it and I've done that to a few of my past family. No guilt allowed. JMHO.

I so agree. What you did in restoring the quilt is beautiful. It's so pretty. Not many would have tried to do that and it may just have gotten thrown away. Enjoy your work and your quilt. It's beautiful but do keep it.

I can see, it was 1934 and I was 2yrs. old then. NO guilt, ever. That is one lovely quilt that nobody cared about, at least, not enough to take the time and effort to restore. You accomplished a labor of love and deserve to have that quilt and pass it down to your children or whoever you wish..
