    Wow!! What a treasure!! Please post a pic if you can. I would love to see it!

    I love red and apparently the maker of these quilts did, as well. What a treasure your BIL found!

    They are gorgeous! Isn't it interesting that the color schemes are so similar. I am sure there is a story about these somewhere.
