What a wonderful discovery! Everything about this quilt is fabulous! I would love to see a reproduction of the center panel. I would love to see a collection of historical panels such as this one!

Beautiful! I think it would be awesome for someone to make a pattern of this quilt, so other people could make their own versions. I'd make it!
