wow, I love it, 120 years old and looks that good! It looks better than some ppl :lol:
Do they take precautions to keep ppl from touching it? I wash my hands a lot before handling fabrics and aida cloth for cross stitch.
Thanks for the history on it, it really give it a place, a when, etc. The picture with the keys is great, too!

Beautiful quilt. Imagine all time it took to cut and sew all that together by hand!!!
I think it might be pronounced "Halisco" I have seen a name or two where the Z had an H sound

It is stunning! Can you imagine the patience that went into that masterpiece? I would have been bored after the first few blocks! I'm so glad the quilt maker kept going!
