    Beautiful quilt! A lovely story to go with it. The pattern reminds me of cross stitch designs~

    I think it is beautiful. I can honestly say knowing the story behind makes the quilt even more precious. I can see now how important it is to keep a log of one's creation. I see no mistakes just love that spans the ages. Thanks for sharing.

    You have an exquisite treasure. Be sure to put a label on the back, detailing the quilt's history.
