A Baby Quilt! It was folded inside another quilt. Embroidered Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam parade across this one. Excellent condition too! The colors are very faded though. I am betting the blocks originally were some color other than white as the maker used a lot of white embroidery thread which does not show up well on the white background. I wonder if the pink in the sashing was originally red or pink. Amazing quilting too. This one is a work of art.

The whole quilt blowing a bit in the wind.
