Hexagon Quilt by My Great Great Aunt Ada

My Great Great Aunt Ada lives on a farm in Michigan. She quilts. By hand. Yes, you read that correctly. BY HAND, people! Here are some photos of the quilt she made for my sister-in-law Marti. It's all hexagons, even the sashing. I can't even imagine how long it took her to piece this quilt with her 94-year-old hands.
