I love the story and your finish! It deserved to be saved.

Thank you for a lovely story. You have helped preserve someone's treasured possession. Well done!

What a great story. I love that quilt. I hope it gets a lot of use with grandkids. It deserves to make a lot of memories!

Great job in finishing this quilt and finally letting it live it's life! I also wanted to comment on the backing you chose - it has a definite vintage vibe to it and complements the top.

It looks great now, with your help.

Thanks for all the sweet responses. I was just so happy to have a little hand in this one.

Vicki, as for a baby quilt on the wall, many young parents these days are told not to use covers with their babies for fear of suffocation. They're supposed to have the crib free of anything the child can tangle in. I think that applies to newborns up to a certain age, but I don't know how long. Under the circumstances, you should probably feel honored that they wanted to display your quilt in the baby's room. When I give a baby quilt, I always tell them it's for "tummy time" on the floor before the baby can crawl, and I try to make it as colorful as possible for that reason.

This really has a vintage charm to it. It grows on you. I love what you did!

I would love to have that quilt to use. So glad you were able to finish it. The quilting adds to the beauty.

Beautiful quilt and story. Thanks for sharing the story and your discoveries with us.

Great story on the quilt, so glad you rescued it and gave it some loving care.
