Interesting info about wool yarn/ button......indeed a strange looking quilt, but must have served its purpose at the time...
When was the domestic sewing machine invented? Made practical for many to own? This certainly seems to be made by someone who maybe didn't have the $$$$ to purchase new so did with what was available. That star motif was machine sewn on as were the seams(s) so had to be after invention/mass production of sm....I would think anyway. And, probably used in a colder climate being all that heavy fabric pieces........see it's talking to us!
Wonder if down the road someone will try decipher one of ours.....
