I'll show a few of my antique quilt collection over the next few posts.

Upon closer inspection at home, I saw a handquilted letter "W". My husband's last name is Wilkins so it was meant to be:
Then I found a handquilted dragonfly motif--my favorite insect and one I collect images of. This quilt had found the right person to love and care for it:
This one only comes out at Christmas time, to display on the unused guest bed. A real treasuure.
Let's quilt.
