    Of course the relatives want it...it looks wonderful! But I'm glad you remember that YOU are the one who made it look that way again. Congratulations on a job well done and a terrific family heirloom.

    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..

    Heirlooms are the best. Don't feel bad about having it. You earned it with all your hard work!

    There should not be any guilt on your part. It is beautiful and you did a great job. When they say they would like to have the quilt, just smile and enjoy it, you deserve it!!!!!!
