When one of our parishoners died last year, she left a lot of quilting stuff in her basement and we found this quilt top.
Here's a closeup of the stitches - it was hand stitched - I don't know when or by whom...
I added a few border strips to make it fit a twin sized sheet that we used for the backing.
We'll raffle this off in the fall as a child's quilt - the proceeds will go to Lutheran World Relief Quilt Project.

ReplyDeleteMe too! Some of her friends said they didn't think she pieced it - but because it is so old - I think she did - maybe for a daughter she never had - she had two sons - but this quilt would be perfect for a little girl...
