Wonderful photo. I love seeing old family pictures. Clearly the photographer never asked folks to smile back then.
The quilt looks like a log cabin to me, you can kinda see the light side if you squint.
And, kudos to the Mother for using it as a backdrop.

isn't it neat what we can "accidentally" find? Be it ancestors or anything else. Wish I could find some of my ancestors picts!

oh and to explain the "accidental". yesterday I went for a walk, and coming back something caught my eye. A makrer , course me being a genealogist I had to look. It was an old gravesite from the 1800's to about 1888.
So you have a great find with the pictures. and me, well a family cemetery! really cool.

Oh, I would be SO INTERESTED in seeing the tute, "Jan in VA". How wonderful to be able to look at a quilt and create the likeness. Bless you.

The pattern is now posted in the tutorial section of the board as Donna's ancestor's antique log cabin.

Thanks so much for sharing your picture! I've seen quilts used as backdrops in other old pictures.
