Sorry I didn't respond to some of the questions here, for some reason I stopped getting notifications of responses on the thread.
Yes, the condition of the quilt is amazing considering how old it is. It shows very little wear on it as all, so the pics do it justice in that respect.

Thanks again, Cindy

Thank you so much for sharing with us. This quilt tells a lot about this lady. I imagine she took a lot of pleasure in hand quilting. Like so many of us it was her therapy.
