Thanks for sharing! I also love the older quilts and usually am in awe at their workmanship and creativity.

Thank you so much!
I am interested in noticing that the Sunbonnet Sue girls don't have hands. I have a similar "no hands" quilt and am wondering about the history of that style

Loved seeing this collection of antique quilts. Thanks for sharing. Just wondering if there is a bit of the history of the house the show was held in?

Daylesewblessed - I also noticed the lack of hands; first time I remember seeing that on a quilt.

starshine - These two pages are interesting, history-wise:
