I am sure others have oohed and aahed too over this but what a neat way to preserve family memories. I can see why it took so long but it will be a family heirloom. Wow! You did great.

Wow! What a family treasure! I hope you made a label with all of the names so generations down the road will know the labor of love they own. I wish I could see the quilt in person, I'm sure these pictures don't do it justice! Thanks for sharing!

What a great idea for pillow cases. I have a lot of cases that my mother and grandmother embroidered, and I never use them, what a great use for them, rather than sitting in the linen closet. Thanks for sharing.
