If you look at it closely, it is made ENTIRELY of embroidered names. No piecing (except for the individual background blocks) - just the names. And in the middle is a FAB-U-LOUS line drawing of the Jasper County Courthouse. What a great piece of history. They have a list of all of the names that are on the quilt (even the "border" is names written on a 45* angle.
Simply amazing. I just had to share.

I am so, so glad that you shared it with us. I grew up in the Carthage area and spent many a Saturday playing on the lawn of the Courthouse. Awesome quilt.Originally Posted by jrhboxers
