My great-grandmother (my mother's father's mother) made each of her three great-grandchildren a quilt. This one is mine.
It is hand emroidered and hand-pieced. After completing three such quilts she didn't feel up to hand-quilting them. My father's mother offered to back them and quilt them for us (I think some other relatives helped). I like that our quilts are the work of both sides of our family!
Here's the back of the quilt, which shows the hand quilting (larger image):
