Whatever you do with it, PLEASE do not wash it or attempt to repair it in any manner.Thanks for the responses! I know nothing about quilts.
The part of the house where my g-aunt gave it to me also had letters from an ancestor from the ACW along with ancient photographs of him. But there were also letters from other folks from 1890's through 1940's, so I guess it doesn't mean much. But, for a kid (and as an adult) I can't help but pretend that maybe- just maybe- this was the blanket my ancestor had with him when he was so rudely wounded by Yankees at the battle of Elk Horn Tavern.
I know it is a stretch, but I felt it couldn't hurt asking folks here. Who knows! It's probably from the 1930's or something, but then again...... Ain't it always fun to dream
That would cause it to lose its value.
