A friend of mine showed me a quilt that was done by his grandmother who passed recently. He called the pattern Chicken in a basket? I've never heard of that. It is all done by hand. So on the back she sewed these words: "Pieced in 1930 Quilted in 1987" So would the quilt be dated for 1930 or 1987? He was asking me and I said "I'm not sure but I bet my quilting friends will know!" So what do you all say, please? :oops: :-)

When I completed my mother's "Grandma's Flower Garden" quilt, I put a label on the back that reads: "Made by Mary Johnson, circa 1955 to 1980, quilted by Jonatha, 1990". I call it her "generation-spanner".
