    You have a beautiful treasure.. I'm so happy for you!

    I have been fortunate to find a few "scrappy" quilt tops in thrift stores, and find them so much fun that I've begun collecting them... just the tops, so I can see the pretty handstitching on the back. They make my heart sing...

    That is wonderful! My grandmother used to do that type of applique quilt in the 60's and 70's. Seeing yours brings back good memories.
