It is absolutely stunning and the little booklet with it is a wonderful preservation of its history- so important. Kudos to you and your husband!

What a keepsake...from the well preserved beautiful hand embroidered blocks, beautiful quilting and the label. I'm sure the Goddaughter will appreciate the gift.

This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen. The story and the love that exudes from this quilt is spectacular. Thanks for sharing. I hope this young lady understands how special it is and continues to pass it down generation after generation. Maybe it will inspire others to quilt as well!
