No don't know thae pattern but you are right not to cut it up. It would be a great loss. Congratulations on such an heirloom

Not sure what the pattern is, but it looks like it is still in very good shape. I would be doing what you are. Put some new binding on it and use it. I think the only time you should cut them up is when they are worn and you can still get some use out of the smaller pieces.

Interesting pattern. What a special keepsake. You made the right decision to repair and enjoy it.

Wow! What a pretty quilt! Shame to think she thought it only worthy to be cut up. Glad you saved it!
