wow, I love it, 120 years old and looks that good! It looks better than some ppl :lol:
Do they take precautions to keep ppl from touching it? I wash my hands a lot before handling fabrics and aida cloth for cross stitch.
Thanks for the history on it, it really give it a place, a when, etc. The picture with the keys is great, too!

What a beautiful quilt thanks for sharing it Eddie. A quilt from the mid 1800's I love history and the Civil War era is one that I truely treasure. I have made period correct quilts from that era you are so lucky to have seem one up close.
