Wonderful find. How can people part with quilts they know someone in their family made??? Breaks my heart.

That is a pretty quilt! I can't see giving away something my Grandmother made.. Her loss and your gain:)

beautiful and sorry to hear that lady sold one of her grandmothers quilts, are you going to put a label on it so you know who made it and the age of it???

That's a very good suggestion. Unfortunately I never asked her grandmother's name. I'll definitely put a label on it saying where I bought it and how old it was supposed to be. I'm going to patch it then hand wash it tomorrow.
