Bless your heart. Quilters are frugal people. Talk about getting your money's worth! I bet that quilt has a lot of memories in it.
I started letting every piece go that was not at least 1.5 " wide. (Which I can use for mini's and postcards.) Just to save my own sanity.
Your piece is really wonderful. And, It is mesmerizing to look at. Beautiful job! I hope this quilt now brings you joy!
