    This quilt was hand pieced by my great Grandmother. She passed in 1939 so I know it was done prior to that time. She made it for my Dad. It was never quilted because Daddy wouldn't let anyone else have it to work on. After he died, I sent it to be hand quilted because I thought it deserved to be done that way. Hope I can get the picture to post..

    That is beautiful. What a great tribute to your dad and great-grandmother to have it finished.

    Beautiful quilt. What a treasure to have, as far as I know I am the first in my family to quilt.
