How pretty! Sad to see an older quilt tossed. At least you appreciate all that work! What nice patterns in the quilt.

Thanks for sharing.

I think the red work squares are what are called antique "penny" squares. Good save!

What a nice pile you ran into and that quilt, someone at some time probably more than 100 years ago did a lot of hand work on that quilt. It was waiting for you to come along and love it. Nice to go to estate sales and pick things up such as that. I got several dresser scarfs last week for $1.oo as they were stained. Well I want to cut off the handwork on each one and put in a quilt so it did not bother me and most of it came clean after one washing too.
