Yes, it is in fine condition.. I should have put some pictures of the back showing the handquilting..

On things like this, I like to keep them as "just quilt tops" only. The backs are as interesting as the fronts usually..

I have another old old quilt top that is a log cabin, foundation pieced and never been quilted... I love it the way it is...

Beautiful, so good of you to take it home with you. Lots of time and work went into the making of it. A real treasure.

Great old quilt. It looks like it's in good shape.
Lucky you to have this.

Now I think it is ugly and you know it is wonky. My daughter thinks I should throw it away! hand pieced of course.

Granny, post some pictures of it on QB... We'll tell you if it's pretty or not... Please don't throw it away! Let us see it!!!
I don' have any pictures. I will need my daughter to help me post it
