Any other info that you may find, if you don't care, would you pass it on? I love the history involved with quilts also, I keep a very detailed scrapbook and want to add these to my quilt scrapbook.
My mother is going to call my great-aunt. She said she remembers someone in the family doing or having one of these when she was a little girl! She said it was a source of a family arguement, because some thought they were bad luck.
I'll let you guys know what I find out.
