The minute I saw it I remembered it. I am sure that my grandmother made it.
I even went out and bought a camera so I could post these pictures. I left my good one at home.
It is hand quilted in a very interesting pattern, I don't really know how to describe it.
I am getting together with my female cousins tonight. We are all supposed to bring something and I am going to bring this quilt.
The daughter of one of my cousins is studying textiles at NC State and she will be there. These fabrics will be very interesting for her to see.
I even have a small piece of this same pink fabric.
The blocks are absolutely amazing. It is a nine patch square in a square. It is beautiful and to think of the work my grandmother put into it means so much to me.

It's a beautiful treasure!
What a great find! It looks like it's in a very good condition too. How fun to have a textile student looking at it, she may have some valuable insights about the fabrics and pattern.
Wow, what a very special quilt. I hope your cousins enjoy seeing it.
Oh, this is a great quilt! I LOVE it! And interesting quilting too. I hope your cousins enjoy seeing it too.
I may have to put this one on my list of quilts-to-do!
It's absolutely beautiful! The pinks and blues are awesome together.

So beautiful, so charming - certainly inspires me - I could rush to the machine now!
