I do not know any of these people. I grew up in Paris, TX and was a "Nance" from home. If you will go to whitepages.com
and type in some of the last names, you may just find some of the kin.
I was born over at Cumby in 1943 and still have relatives around the area.

I always thought it was called an album block.

My husbands 2nd cousins husbands mother was Evelyn Bobo. Out of Haltom City area in Fort Worth, TX. Sorry extended family. Hard to explain. She has passed.
I quilted a quilt top from the same time period for another member of his family. The same memory block pattern. it must have been popular at the time.

Keep us posted - what a lovely top and I'm glad it found a home with someone who appreciates it!

The only name I recognize is "Mother"

Good Luck... There is a quilt shop in Paris, you might speak with them....

I would guess that was most likely a wedding quilt made by friends and family. What a treasure!

I do a lot of genealogy research...and live in Texas too..and I'll see what I can find on these names and let you know.

Please keep us posted..... So much history in that quilt.

Chances are anyone that was old enough to embroider in 1931 has passed on, you might be able to find some heirs. Another thought might be to contact the Paris Texas historiccal society...thats a real treasure you have there.

Awesome quilt top there - how neat! Please keep up posted on whatever you find out!
