It is a gorgeous quilt and lovely story. I'm with the others who are telling you to make a picture, label, give her a picture etc. I am so thankful she was able to give it to you with the story so the quilt doesn't end up at Goodwill with an unknown name and history. Yes, you are lucky or blessed or whatever you want to call it but now you have a responsibility too.

I can only imagine how much it would mean to the lady who sold you the quilt to have a photo of the quilt, with her holding it! That would be something she can treasure -- a photo doesn't take that much room, but oh, how full her heart would be. I have a quilt embroidered by my aunt many years ago, that to me is very valuable, but probably not to anyone else. I think I need to get a picture of my aunt's quilt and post it in the appropriate place.

Beautiful and I am just thinking so early in the morning to try to get set up to make this one. I just hope I can do similar to what your grandmother did. Selling or giving it away would be out of the question. It is just perfect. Thank you for showing all of this a remarkable beautiful quilt.

We quilters know the real value of that quilt. Mcdaniel023, you did a beautiful thing by acquiring the quilt. I agree a label would be appropriate. The quilt is fantastic.

Beautiful quilt! She did the right thing by passing it on to someone that would treasure it.

Perfectly Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the picture and the story. I have a quilt my Paternal Gr. Mother made in the Civil War Period. My Dad got that, and it has been to 2 sisters' home and a niece. The niece decided she didn't want it as she didn't know the Gr. Mother at all.

I am still trying to get this new computer learned on how to forward an email. When that happens, will post a picture of it. I keep it on the quilt rack and just show it to people if they really want to see it.

Thanks again,Mariah
