I have several old quilts from this era. I have one that is especally nice. It's a Nosegay pattern with the green that was popular at that time. It was in excellent condition when I got it. Didn't have to do a thing to it. Also in my collection is: Double Wedding Ring, Grandmother's Flower Garden, Good Luck pattern and an applique that I don't know the name of. Plus a Kansas City Star pattern called Dolly Madison Star and a Grandmother's Fan that I found the tops and finished them. Love the old ones!

Wow! What a treasure you have and that quilt deserves you for what you have done for it! Treasure it. I wish everyone would try to do something like that for the old treasures. My mother quilted so many quilts. She gave my sister (who doesn't treasure anything) one and they let the dogs make a bed out of it outside. It really broke Mama's heart.
