BEAUTIFUL! What a treasure.

Love the quilt and what a treasure. I sure wish I had something like that. My grandma's didn't quilt but they crocheted. I do have many of their doilies and a couple of table cloths, so I guess I do have a few treasures. Never thought of it that way before. Anyway what a beautiful quilt.

My mother had it quilted in 1975 and gave it to me as a wedding present. The small squares are 1/2". It is hand pieced and quilted.
