It is absolutely stunning and the little booklet with it is a wonderful preservation of its history- so important. Kudos to you and your husband!

What a keepsake...from the well preserved beautiful hand embroidered blocks, beautiful quilting and the label. I'm sure the Goddaughter will appreciate the gift.

This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen. The story and the love that exudes from this quilt is spectacular. Thanks for sharing. I hope this young lady understands how special it is and continues to pass it down generation after generation. Maybe it will inspire others to quilt as well!

A treasure and lucky girl to receive such a gift. All the quilting will support the fabric to last longer.

I'm really impressed with the beauty of this quilt, but even more impressed by the care given to it to restore and maintain it. What a tribute and a treasure!
