What a beautiful legacy his Grandmother left him. Just think of the work that went into that quilt. I'm sure she didn't have all our modern "quilting made easy gadgets". That is a labor of love. I hope you both cherish it.

That is a brilliant idea! We don't have kids, so the future generations will most likely not know where it came from. Thank you!

Thank you, everyone! To those who asked, it is pieced - not appliquéd - and yes, it looks to be all cotton. Mom had another quilt that belongs to my husband's brother, and it had flying geese on it. Their grandma really had a way with color - they're just beautiful!

Someone mentioned not knowing how people find the time to hand quilt. I can't imagine, especially in the days when so many other things were done by hand - laundry, dishes, etc.

So, how do I wash it? I'm thinking either by hand or the gentle cycle in the machine?

Thank you, again!
