I stumbled on this thread doing research for my family. It's has been a great read. We have a lot of quilts in our family that have been passed down for generations.

Mrs L McNeal
This is my Great Grandmother. She lost her husband within a few years of this quilt being made - but lived for another 40+ years - with my grandparents (Otis and Pauline).

Frances McNeal
This was my Great Aunt. I only met her a few times as she lived in California. She would have been about 16.

Mrs Otis Williamson (Pauline)
This was my Grandmother. As my mom and I are both only children - there are not a lot of ancestors on this side of the family. She was likely a newleywed when this was made - or just engaged - as their wedding date was in 1932. She was about 18 when this was made.

I'll show the pictures to my Mom. She will enjoy them - as she still lives in the Paris area - and will know a lot of the names.

Thanks
Grover
