    Thanks everyone! I'm so glad to get them, especially since nobody else in my family has one speck of interest in quilting or crocheting, much less any idea of the time and effort that went into making them. They would've been the type to use them for furniture padding, unfortunately. Grrr!

    I'll treasure these quilts forever. 8-)

    Oh boy !! what a treasure. My granny who lived in Missouri during the twenties and thirties left me a "scrap book" of her quilting patterns, mostly cut from the Kansas City Star newspaper. A couple of your grandma's quilts look amazingly like some of the patterns my granny left for me.

    I love the way she outlined the butterflys on the sides and bottoms! Very nice.

    Those are a treasure and thank goodness they fell into your hands and not someone who wouldn't give them the respect they deserve!
