Wow, that's a great quilt!
I have to admit, my reaction on seeing your thread title was a groan. I've been thinking that not all quilts need to be rescued. Some were made for utility, and if they get damaged or used up in the process, hey, that's what they were for.
Your quilt doesn't fit that category, and judging by it, I'm betting the others from that lady's hands won't either. So I'm very glad you're rescuing them, and I hope you'll post photos of the others when you get them - with your kids, of course! (Maybe your son will find one he likes, too.)

I think it is interesting how they (as in my dad and my uncle) can think nobody would want the quilts because they don't. I bet my grandmother would cry if she saw how her three boys have treated her "treasures" in this way. My grandmother didn't have much, but what she did have was nice. I am also going to get two antique chairs that were my great, great grandfather's from her house as soon as my uncle will part with them. Right now, one of them is used for a clothes holder in the bedroom. I shudder to think how two years worth of his using them might have damaged them.
