    That is a beautiful quilt. I have it on my bucket to make one for myself.

    WOW! Some of these old quilts are off-the-charts amazing - like this one. I am always stunned by how beautiful they are, even when the colors or patterns aren't my "first choice." I love the energy old quilts have. Thanks for sharing these photos - that border is really something!

    That's the most beautiful Dresden quilt I've seen. You've inspired me to take a second look at these type of quilts. To think your mother did this without all the modern tools we now use is amazing. Thanks for showing a close-up of the border. She was truly an excellent quilter!

    those little pieces were all saved and then cut one at a time. Beautifully done and nicely conserved.
    Heirlooms like this need to be taken care of.

    Now that you have it out, keep it out...don't tuck it away. She would want you to enjoy it.
