I always love to hear the miracle stories of the storm. Your quilt is beautiful and now I'll have to add this one to my list. My three sisters and my Mom all lost their homes/belonging in Katrina, so I understand how you felt when you found that quilt, still in one piece and salvageable. Thanks for sharing your story and quilt.

It was my bonnet girl quilt... covered in mud but not a tear in it. It now resides on the bed in her guest room of her new house. Living proof that a sister's love can't be destroyed.

What a beautiful quilt and a wonderful story! I have never heard of bonnet girls before and I love them! I looked at the site and bookmarked it. I would love to make one some day, if I live long enough that is!!
