This is the quilt that my G-grandma, grandma and mom made for mother's hope chest. It is entirley hand made, no machine work any place. This quilt has been in use almost constantly, washed by machine and hung out to dry. All the pieces are in good condition, but getting thin. The backing is yellowed with age, witih one very small tear. All the pieces are 1 inch big. I guess this is the way they passed the long nights at the farm.

entirely hand stitched by my G-grandma, grandma and mother. The quilt is at least 90 years old.
