Feathers... Yes I know the makers name never met her. Ida (Daniels) Stephenson, or vice versa, she was my friends Aunts mother. We went back to Arkansas two years ago after the uncle and aunt passed away, for the auction in Hatfield. and in one of the boxes was this quilt top already pieced. I have several blocks that she used newspaper for the pattern that are crumbling, the only date we could find on one is 1911, not sure what to do with all of those. I did stop and spend all of my savings on 36 real Feed Sacks, and I have made a Grandmothers Fan out of a few of them. A couple still have the paper and real thread.
I hope you did touch it at the fair, I didn't get to go. Thanks for all the congrats to everyone, first time I have posted a pic on here. I look at everyones pics though and read through everything.
