    Thanks for sharing the amazing quilt. What a treasure to be able to document in your family -- so wonderful that you gifted it to some place that can preserve it!

    How wonderful to have such a lovely quilt with such a long provenance. Over two hundred years old. Wow.

    How very fascinating...first to be able to track family, let alone a quilt. In the history it mentioned a plantation..portobello plantation..is it still in existence. Do you have any other things from your ancestors?

    It is amazing and with those different borders and styles, it almost sounds like a round robin.

    I bet the person who made this quilt way back then would never have guessed just how special it was going to be.

    Thanks for sharing.
