You are right about the story. Every quilt deserves a label.

Beautiful quilt. Would love to know the story behind the person who threw it away and why.

I'm apalled at what people will throw out, but your mother now has a gorgeous treasure - you did a great job. I'm not a big fan of the 30's, feedsack type fabrics, but these are beautiful, think I'll have to rethink my thinking. Ya think???
