In 1948 at the age of 9 I had leg surgery and could not walk all summer. My Mom taught me how to make this exact butterfly pattern! Some of the prints shown are also what I used. She worked in Eureka Print Dye works and brought home small pieces.
The quilt never got quilted- just blocks sewn together and used for a "beach blanket". In 1978 my DH took the kids swimming when I was in the hospital. It began to rain so they left for home leaving the quilt on the beach. I often wonder if the person finding it appreciated all the hand work I had done as a child.
