    I know you feel lucky to have such a wonderful quilt. I have my grandmother's and great grandmother's. I have them in a glass case. Do not want to many fingers touching. Great Grandma's dates to the 1920's. I think grandma's is around the late forties or early 50's. (My aunt gave me this times. She help quilt with grandma in the 50's.)

    Oh, how beautiful.....so happy for you. I don't have any family heirlooms; but have two beauties that needed homes from yard sales. One of which, I found accidentally by stepping on it. Wasn't considered worth much because it has a few yellowed stains on it. Well, it is worth something to me!!

    It's a beauty! Looks like it was made in the 30's or 40's.
