    Of course, you don't need to be told what a treasure you've found. I wish I could think of something smart to say, but well, I can't. So I'll mimic everyone else and congratulate you. Just make sure that you add a label with the quilt story so it's preserved in the future. The thought of your family losing the story or the quilt is just too sad.
