    Those are real treasures. What size are those patches in the first and fifth quilts--about 1 inch? Your grandmother had more patience than I'll ever have.

    Beatiful, my grandmothere and mother didn't Quilt so I do not own any keepsakes. You are blessed to have those.

    So glad you are taking the time to have these beautiful quilts placed in the hands of people who will appreciate them and care for them. They are a treasure and can now be enjoyed by many others.

    Good for you. I have a great deal of respect for you.

    How special. That you have them and are donating them to a good home. So many people will now be able to see them. It is alway great to go to a small museum and see such quality workmanship.

    What treasures those are. I can't imagine the amount of time that went into those. They are beautiful.
