Wow. This quilt is amazing. When I saw the title of the thread I expected something really scrappy, and this just blew me away! It's so pretty- and all made with none of our fancy new tools!
I am so jealous of you that you got to touch it! And the keys really put it in perspective- good idea!

Oh my !!!!!! That is beautiful, more than beautiful, oh my!!! I don't want to look at it too long or I might get it into my head to do one like it! It would be just like me, to tackle something so unbelievable. But I am so slow I would still be working on it 10 years from now. I wonder how long she worked on it, oh what determination! Thank you for sharing, I think!

I did a Google search on the lady who made this quilt and came up with the following interesting information about her:
Mr. BRENTS lost his first wife, and in January, 1868, was married to Mrs. Xalisco DICKENSON, an estimable widow, and daughter of Robert STRIBLING. The lady was born in Georgia, but came to Arkansas with her parents when three years old, and settled in Hot Spring County, where her father and mother both died. One child was born to her marriage with Mr. BRENTS, Lily.
