Adding to the above post I will tell you about a crazy quilt I found in a dusty antiques shop in my city. The stitches were awesome. I had no need for it but couldn't let it pass. Size was more like a table topper. Incorporated in the velvets, silks and laces was a ribbon recognizing the Cynthiana, KY, Orphan Brigade. Knowing nothing about this, when I returned home I googled it. Learning a little fascinating Civil War history. These men wanted to be a part of the war but state of KY did not. Crossing over into TN they were accepted as the "Orphan Brigade. The date on the ribbon was 1868, I believe. Long story but I knew this needed to be in KY. We dropped it off in Cynthiana donating it to their museum.
