Yes, some of those counted were not pieced borders. But each was quilted in a different pattern.

What a fabulous story. I think it is awesome that you donated this to the museum so that others can share in it, as well. The fact that this looks as good as it does and has held up for so long is almost unbelievable. Even after all this time, it still looks beautiful.

Your heirloom quilt and story are great! You've got a great piece of history and quilting in your genes!

Beautiful ! It totally amazes me how on earth did they ever color and design and make material way back then!
