Yours is truly an awe inspiring story of a family history with the quilt. I am envious. Most of us will never have anything close to this old to inspire us. Thanks so much for sharing.

What a beautiful quilt
!!! I think it's so great that you donated the quilt so more can enjoy it. Please make a pattern for it.....the quilt really does need to be reproduced and enjoyed for future generations. Just love the story. Thanks SO much for sharing.

Jan how amazing, such a wonderful link to your past. Have you seen the collection by Kaffe Facett? He took vintage quilts and redesigned them in modern fabrics and design. I went to see them when they were in the National Quilt Museum in York. I know he has produced a book. It might be an idea to make a 2016 version rather than a reproduction.

my daughter went to the the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, and we have toured Williamsburg and the textile museum several times both having an interest in quilting and textiles. What an honor for your quilt to be part of that prestigious collection.
