That is a beautiful quilt and I love the story. That is so awesome that someone found it waaaay away from Vermont and sent it to a museum there.
The quilt is very much out of my league at present. I don't even think of ever doing anything like that. I can enjoy looking at it and thinking about how patient and meticulous Jane (and all you fabulous & experienced quilters on this board) were/are to make this quilt.
