The hand appliqued butterfly blocks were made by my Granny and Aunt. They were found by my cousin when she was cleaning out a closet in her parents home after they passed away. She asked me to finish the quilt for her. This is what I came up with. The original blocks, as you can see are from the '30 or '40. You can see the original printing on the muslin
sugar sacks. And I can assure you that the fabric was quite old. I loved finishing this piece of history for my family.
