Lovely!!! I think old quilts and blocks are treasures to be preserved and loved!! These were made by a woman's own hands, with love for her family. What could be more precious? Fabulous that you have this!!

I'm going to add a photo of my great-grandmother, but need to say "oops," and correct the history. The photo is of my great-grandmother, Electa Parsons and she gave the quilt top to the little girl on her lap (my cousin) on the girl's wedding day. The quilt top itself, however, was actually pieced by HER mother, my great-GREAT-grandmother. It's called "broken dishes," and is over 120 years old.

My GM and GGM both made beautiful quilts but unfortunately I don't have any of them. My parents never saw the value in them and discarded them when those dear ladies passed away. You are lucky to have some mementoes of yours.

How beautiful. And such an inspiration.
