Are you calling the "our Lady of Guadulupe" quilt an angel? How sad. The sellers had not idea who is depicted in the quilt? The roses on her dress mark define her.
Short version of story--------St. Mary appeared to Mexican guy (name escapes me just this minute) and asked him to go up on the mountain, pick some roses and bring them back to her. It's cold on the mountain--------no roses. But he had faith in what Mary had asked him to do. He finds roses just as she said. He pickes them, holds out his cloke to make a carrying space, comes back and drops them at her feet. His reward was roses emblazoned on his cloke.
Beautiful, fantastic quilt. It's really sad the shop owners had no idea what they were selling.

Oh what a cool quilt cabin ! Love your photo and quilts ... esp the Lady of Guadalupe ... what a sweet DH you have! My DH doesn't hunt but he's a big fisherman. Don't think he's ever brought me back anything from his trips except FISH ! LOL
Your cabin just needs insulation and wiring for lights and heat and you'd be good to go ! Enjoy :)

My mistake, I found the quilt pattern, it is called "Monterey Angel" and not Montecella, not sure where my brain came up with that... It is at storyquilts.com, I found the link here it is... http://www.storyquilts.com/html/monterey.html

He goes on these hunting trips ever so many years, (I think to prove that he still can) to CO to Elk Hunt. (he has never brought home an elk yet) but the thing is that when he is gone and we are apart, we are both actually miserable, because it is like part of us is missing. Anyway, on his last trip, when he came off the mountain in some little po-dunk town (a.k.a. tiny town) waiting for the other guys to get their showers and clean up to head home and he spied a quilt shop, so he went in and told the people that he wanted to take something home to his wife and that she was a quilter, "BLESS THEIR HEARTS", the first thing they asked him was is she a good quilter, ( or fishing for info on my skill level) He said, well, she wins lots of ribbons (mostly best of show at the county fair, Ha Ha!) at quilt shows all over and she makes a lot of quilts. To which they replied we have the perfect thing for her. He said, "Well I kind of want it to depict some character of this area", (which to them was kind of south western) anyway, they showed him the "Monticello angel quilt pattern, plus fabric (kit) and yardage of a southwestern boarder fabric) And they put it all together in a nice reusable bag and sent him home proud as a peacock. of course the other guys had no idea he had went shopping for his wife, but it is just something he does for me whenever we are apart. And it was so funny he got home about 4 a.m. and I greeted him on the steps and the first thing he said was I got you something with a shitty ass grin on his face. He was so proud of himself. :) . I just love him to death! He really isn’t much of a hunter he mostly likes to see the BIG country, ride his horses over the continental divide and work with his horses and pack out the other guys elk plus he loves the camaraderie and that is what he enjoys. So look for (or google) quilt shops around the Wolf Creek Pass or Pagosa Springs, CO area and then call them and ask about a pattern called Montella or something like that. That is the best I can help you out with finding it. It was juried into the AQS show in Des Moines, Iowa a few years ago and hung in that show. It didn’t win any ribbons but it was nice to know my work was good enough to get into a show like that. Happy Hunting. Oh and here is a better picture of our quilting cabin. Will post a better picture of “My babies Angel when I find one!
