What an amazing piece. It has certainly lasted well....wonder what the notes were actually made from...might have had a content of linen or cotton.

That is what I am thinking too, earthwalker...
Oddly, there isn't much info available on this quilt, or atleast that I could find.

you know, I just found out in the past three weeks that money has fabric in it.
I don't think I ever gave it any thought. No wonder it won't shred to bits in the wash.
What an awesome quilt...and by now, lol..your thinking...did Mousie click on my posts or something? yuppers, I did.
Was wondering how yer doin'? Keeping up with quilting news I see.
Good thing to be doing. :XD:
