Oh, just to hold the quilts and think of the ladies stitching these by hand at the end of a long day or while the guys were in the field then laying these aside to prepare home cooked meals for the loves of their lives. I can smell the fresh air just thinking about it.
I have 3 quilts laying out tonight. My sister in law came over to tell me the family history of the quilts. I plan to repair and label these, then soak, wash, and freshen them.

You are so lucky to have these, what a treasure!!
