Thank you for sharing, you are so fortunate. I just love the simplicity of it but yet she put her heart and soul into this quilt. Hand stitching is an art.

make sure to put that info on a label on the back

Beautiful quilt and what a beautiful story to go with it. When i read this to my DH his comment was on the tiny squares "geez"
|
wow -- impressive -- what a wonderful quilt
|
Oh you are so lucky to have this. I hope you will document the story of your family and somehow attach it to the quilt. Maybe make a pocket to stitch on the back with the information safely tucked inside. What a piece of history you have.

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.
