Oh my, I think with a statement like that I am afraid I would have given the quilt back to her. what a thing to say. The quilt is beautiful, it would have been hard, but in my younger days I am afraid she would of gotten it back with a few words to were I stood on things, I was a bit onrey way back when. God bless.

I was afraid to ruin it in case I had to give it back! I mean, he didn't want a quilt. I certainly didn't plan on getting divorced but I didn't want to take any chances with the quilt. Anyway, now that I'm starting to quilt, I decided to get it out. It really is beautiful. And my husband really likes it too. Here is a picture of it.
plastic will cause the fabric to rot. Well, after 17.5 years it still looks darn good! Belles :-o

Oh that is a treasure! I hope grandma is still around to see that you are finally giving it a place of honor in your home. She did a beautiful job.
I love it, the colors are pretty and the design is unique to me.

I think that is a great idea. Since it was given to "both" of you, I would have ignored the comment and used it years ago or handed it back and told her that I don't talk about getting a divorce on my wedding day.

What a funny story. That's why I tell every person I give a quilt to, "Use it, it won't make memories in the closet." I think it's a grandmothers flower garden with center hexagon and outer hexagon's pieced like pie pieces. How large are the hexagons across?
