    The KS. crazy quilt pix

    this is the whole top
    Name: crazy quilt top front.JPG Views: 4442 Size: 167.6 KB

    this is the back, you can see the stitches, and there is still tails of threads to add more if you wanted...but I do not...I do love that I can see the workmanship from both sides!
    Name: crazy quilt back.JPG Views: 4352 Size: 158.7 KB

    as I can only do 5 pix at a time, I will keep adding the blocks as I can
    this is blury, but it shows the souvenir ribbon that says : Souvenir 23rd anniversary of the A.O.U.W. Oct 27 Kingman, KS 1891! The AOUW is the Ancient order of united workmen. Google it, it is very interesting!
    Name: crazy quilt block with souvenier ribbon dated 1891.JPG Views: 4391 Size: 504.4 KB

    this block has two ribbons on it. The top one is Taffeta and says Simpson & Lewelling Redeem, KS. The bottom one is silk and says Chester I. Long. This could be a Mourning ribbon.

    this block has what appears to be a horseshoe, but also looks sorta of like it has a needle, and arms,...I give up....any ideas?

    my DH says he thinks it is a horseshoe with a riders crop!
    We also just found another ribbon on it that says "stand up for kansas" will be googling/researching that next! OH and on the back, we discovered one of the muslins must have been a slip or something as it has most intricate lace edging, still attached to it!

    here is another block, this one has some nice flowers and wheat...there is lots of wheat, some are nicer than others, which makes you think that more than one person worked on this!
    Name: crazy quilt block lots of flowers and wheat.JPG Views: 4065 Size: 157.9 KB

    This block has a lovely bee on it, as well as other things
    Name: crazy quilt block with bee.JPG Views: 4041 Size: 179.4 KB

    This block has the best of the wheat on it...and some blue/white flowers that are like they were cut off of something else.
    Name: crazy quilt block with excellent wheat and white with blue flowers.JPG Views: 4053 Size: 136.6 KB

    this block has a strange pair of tools. we are guessing a sledge and wedge for splitting wood! Also the yellow axe..also used for wood chopping!
    Name: crazy quilt block with lots of flowers, hammer & wedge thingy.JPG Views: 4006 Size: 164.5 KB

    this block has several things on it, including a pair of owls. The fabric under them though is about all gone!

    Jacquie,

    One that square with the horseshoe - look to the right and you will see what looks like 3 links of a chain. Another photo has the same 3 links of a chain.

    Three links of a chain are the symbol of the "Independent Order of Odd Fellows": http://www.ioof.org/
