    It's beautiful! What a great tribute to your grandmother that you had it hand-quilted. I agree, machine quilting was not meant for this masterpiece.

    What a beautiful legacy! And to have some letters that she left as well is truly a blessing in itself. Many blessings to you and your family.

    Oh! My! how pretty, just think of the many hours she spent doing this. I agree it should have been hand quilted. What a beautiful family treasure you have there.
