This is a poignant illustration of why quilt labels are so necessary. This quilt is lacking one so I had no idea who made it, when or where it was made or the block pattern name. I don't think this aunt was a quilter so I've concluded she probably wasn't the maker. Then the mystery is, who did and why? I have since discovered it is called windblown tulips. As you can see it is made only of solid colors and has muslin on the back and was hand quilted. Does anyone have a guess as to when it may have been made. I know the decade when this particular pattern became popular which I won't mention now because I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks.
