    This looks like a very special quilt! I sense a lot of respect, love, and feeling, behind its making.

    I know what you mean about finding things made during our lifetime that show up at auction or in antiques stores.

    Some days, I feel like a walking antique, and to think that, potentially, I could live another 40 years. Pretty scary thought considering all the current aches and pains. :-)

    How interesting to see this. It’s a strange feeling to see quilts made in my lifetime being sold at auction. Why is that?
    Thanks for the great link.
