    We have been married for almost 32 years. I really did not have much time for quilting until I retired 4 years ago, but hubby had this quilt top that his mother had hand pieced sometime before she passed away in the mid 1950's. I had just put it away and forgot about it. Last year I got it out and finally got it completed for his Christmas gift.. The fabrics in this quilt are really much different than what we see today. I cannot imagine hand piecing all of this, but I'm sure there are others on this list that may do this type of quilting all the time.

    It's so cool when something that old finally gets finished!

    What a precious gift for him that you finished her quilt. Did he like it? Remember any of the fabrics? Love to know his response.

    So pretty!

    That is awsome. I have a quilt that belonged to my mother-in-law. Older ones are amazing.
