what a steal! I love stories like yours. I have a block like the kitten quilt. My mother's friend gave it to me. She said she made it when she was a child. She is now about 90 years old.
What a wonderful haul!! You lucky little devil. You made the steal of the year! Enjoy them. Take them to your quilt guild for Show and Tell. It's always great to have a few hand stitched quilts.
