I'd say you have got yourself a prize. Overall, it seems to be in great shape for it's age. Would that I had aged as well.

That is beautiful....That quilt design is my "dream quilt" to make...one of these days. I found one in my mother-in-laws closet after she died. It is not as pretty as yours and like yours we do not know the history of it. She did not quilt but collected "things" that were old and interesting.

The original maker definitely selected the right colors for the name of this quilt. Lucky for you to have found it - it is beautiful.

Beautiful...and all those half-square triangles.

Yes, too bad quilts don't talk. Well, this one talks to me. I believe it could have been a wedding gift quilt. Just look at the various pieces of cloth from dresses, aprons, shirts, etc and in the middle of all that the circle of love in a square. It is lovely. Looks like something my mother would have made.
