Pat, this is beautiful - what a treasure! My grandson has an interest in geneaology (along with me) and I have been wanting to make him a quilt/wall hanging to encourage him - thank you for sharing.

It's interesting to read about all the quilters who also enjoy geneaology. I have told people for years that I enjoy puzzles - of any kind: fabric (quilts of course!), ancestry, cross word, jig saw. Looks like I might not be the only one!
