whenever I am at a garage sale, I am always inclined ot buy old quilts and afghans. Someone put a lot of time and effort into these and it breaks my heart to see them being discarded instead of saved for family heritage.

Thanks everyone. I took it with me to a quilt club meeting today and everyone liked it. Not as much as I do though. I do need to research the pattern. Does anyone else have an idea of the era of the fabrics?
