Embroidered Basket Quilt 1928

My husband and I made this quilt with 90 year old embroidered blocks sewn by his grandmother. We also had it quilted by The Quilt Lady in our area. We gave it to my husband's Goddaughter.....

Treasure is right! A real heirloom and love how you have chronicled the history of it. Those hand embroidered baskets have stood the test of time. Your LAQ did a beautiful job quilting it too.
