I have inherited my Grandmother's quilt which was entered in the 1933 Sears & Roebuck Chicago World's Fair Quilt Contest.

Do you fellow quilters know of any quilts entered in that contest. I am trying to authenticate the quilt and the tag on the bottom of the quilt is not the one on some of the quilts. The tag was sewn onto the bottom of the quilt and looks like it might have had the name and address of the quilter on it. Part of the tag has been cut off.

I will not rest until I prove this quilt was an entry and is authenticated. There are two living members of my family that remember this quilt and can attest it was one of the entries. If you know of anyone who had an ancestor who entered a quilt, please let me know.

Thanks so much.
