What treasures. You are so lucky to have them. You should sit down and put the story on paper for future generations.

Great quilts and family history. I agree that you should write the story down. You should then copy it onto fabric and include the fabric story on the back of the quilts to keep the story with the quilts. May in Jersey

These are beautiful because of the wonderful story they tell. I saw a hexagon quilt top from the mid- 1800s in a museum and you could see the newspapers in the back. Just a thought before you sandwich them.

Leslie--what a wonderful piece of family history you have. Genealogy records just show time and place. This is a living part of your family history! G

Great story. Write it down so everyone will know it. My mother was in the flood in Cincinnati but she didn't write anything down. Now that she is gone, i think about her old stories and wish she has written them down so we could past them on to the next generation. None of us kids can remember all the details now.
