    I don't have any information on your quilt, I was given twelve squares just like yours and was told it was a group of quilters making quilts for donations. they each have their names in the center like yours. There are no dates on any of mine. I hope to one day assemble them into a quilt. Not enough for a big quilt. I would guess a lap quilt. My daughter in law is twenty one and her great grandmother was one of the quilters. No help I know. But interesting. I would post pictures but I don't know how to do it. Good luck, I will be watching your post.

    Thank you so much for adding to our information about these Paris quilts... ACHANCEY has done an incredible job researching the names on this quilt top...

    Would you mind posting the names that are on yours?

    This is such an exciting and inspiring thread, thanks to folks like you and Achancy......

    Connie, where did you find the Coplin marriage?

    Achancy,
    If you go to www.lamarcountytx.org they have cemetery listings. Along with quilting I am a family researcher. You have done a wonderful job on this! It's kind of a sickness, isn't it!
