What a beautiful find! How wonderful it was "you" to find this treasure and how heartwarming it is to place your hands on sewn blocks where there was once a quilter as well. Loved your story and look forward to seeing the quilts finsihed. Happy New Year to you and may all its blessings come your way!

I'm so glad all her hard work went to someone who appreciates it. Have fun finishing her UFO's. Would love to see them when they are finished. Peggy

It's almost as though you were meant to find it. Those blocks are beautiful.

Better a thrift store where someone like you could find them then in the trash! I agree I hope my UFO's get the love you are giving these, don't you know she would be so pleased!

Ok you are going to think I am crazy. BUT when I read your post I got a vision of a Lady looking down on you and the name Berta came to me. I know you said you know her name so I don't know where this came from, Just thought it was funny. But whoever she is I know she is so happy you found them.
