Exactly! This fabulous quilt deserves someone who will love & respect it. If you don't like it tied, you could untie it & quilt it. I did that to an old quilt I happened upon.

How sad! I hope the mother does not know how ungrateful her son is. I am glad you have given this quilt a happy new place.

At least the quilt is going to someone who appreciates it..And isn't that what we all want in the end?

My sil gave me one that her sister gave her it is a sort of a postage stamp.It has a total of 1754 little squares I think it is a queen I have not yet quilted it.Who ever did it they did it by hand also.The pieces are about 1 1/2 in squares.I thought postage stamps are smaller but any way to give a precious top away that some one worked very hard at.People just don't don't appreciate the art of quilts or quilting like they used to.Their loss is my gratefull gain.
