His aunt gave him this several years ago. I'm not sure how long ago it was, but she's been gone since the late 1990s, so that's a bit of a clue. It's hand quilted, and I think it's at least partially hand pieced. Here's a closer look at some of the blocks:
Aren't they pretty? The fabrics have a look of the 1960s and 1970s about them. Isn't it wonderful what kind of treasures you can find when you're looking through stuff?

What a beautiful treasure this quilt is.
Definitely a treasure! How wonderful to find it -- hope you enjoy and use it!
What a great find! It's beautiful!
That is gorgeous!! It looks like english paper piecing, which is almost entirely done by hand and the pattern that she used - pretty sure it's called Grandma's Flower Garden.
Enjoy - that is a real treasure!!!
What a lucky find for you! I love quilts.
