How wonderful to see these finished. You are right about the colors - amazing how great they still look.

Thank you for sharing the history as well as the tops. As always your talents shine thru. The fabrics look as if she had just finished the piecing.

Thanks for sharing the antique quilts with us. Amazing about the colors still being so bright and now that they are all finished they can be well used. Carol

I'm sure there's an angel above smiling down at the beautiful quilt you made from her start! Thanks for sharing.

You did a beautiful job on them Eddie. I love to look at the older quilts - how the colors retained their brightness after so long but it makes me wonder - will the fabrics we use today still look as bright and colorful 100 years from now? I sure hope so! I like how you gave us a little bit of history on them too. She is smiling down at you right now I am sure.
