OH MY Those are gorgeous. I would have them quilted for your mother so she can enjoy them and you can then enjoy them too.
I have one of my Grandmother's quilt that we had quilted just recently... It currently graces the bed in the guest room. I am replicating it so that the other bed will match.

Maybe your Mom would allow you to quilt it now. It would help to keep the threads from ravelling and preserve it better for future generations. What a beauty!! All our old heirloom quilts were used and used and used until they no longer exist... :?

I'm sharing my quilts with family and friends now, while I can still designate where they're going!!
