Wonderful quilts I get to see

This wonderful quilt top came in to my studio a couple of weeks ago.  I wish I knew more about it.  I mean, I know who it belongs to, and my client knows who made it... but I wish I knew the person that worked on it.  Why did she make it?  Did a different person make the two borders?

It is a wonderful quilt, nice and flat, very old, still figuring out how long ago it was made.  It has a few stains but not too bad, and the fabrics are just wonderful. 

I've hung it up in my office on the design wall so that I can study and enjoy it. 
Here is a couple of close ups.

Isn't it wonderful?  All sewn by hand too.   I need to decide whether it should be machine quilted or not.  What do you think?
Enjoy!
