    It's gorgeous. It breaks my heart to know that someone's work was so unappreciated, especially by a daughter.

    Good for you to rescue that quilt. Pooh on the owner for not appreciating it. Best of all you have it's history.

    As I age, I realize you can not take anything with you.....so if family doesn't want it, better to have sold it then family throwing it in the trash when you're gone. Is it so different than the people who quilt to sell at craft sales, etc.

    So glad the treasure found a caring home. I just don't understand how people could not appreciate a piece of family history like this. I have a quilt made by my DH's grandmother, not really my taste, for his wedding to his first wife. No matter... it's who made it that is important. When DH & I got married, she appologized, telling me she couldn't quilt anymore - to difficult for her hands & eyes, so first marriages only. I told her I understood & it would be cherrished. She passed on a couple of years later and it is one of DH's dearest possesions.
