Below are pics of a quilt that I made from a customer's vintage quilt blocks. The blocks were made in 1935 for her mother who retired as a school teacher upon her marriage. The blocks were made by families of her students with each block having an embroidered name of one of her fellow teachers. Each block measures 14" square, and the entire quilt measures 88" x 88".

Just beautiful

Oh Eddie, more signature blocks!! They are so sweet and of course your quilting is fab!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing :D:D

I forgot to tell you how much I like the way you put them together :)

Eddie, I love your quilts. I love seeing them, and I especially like how you complete the WIPs that other families have 'on their hands'. That's a special thing.

Eddie, It's a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

Oh, how neat that is. Imagine, after all that time, it finally is a showpiece.

How pretty!!!!!

Just lovely! What a wonderful keepsake for the generations to come. When I look at those blocks, I realize they are as old as I am..................Only they look a lot better (smile). Thanks for sharing.

Eddie, this is a reminder how how far the women of today have come from 1935. Back then, when a woman married, most school boards deemed that a she couldn't maintain both jobs and was asked/forced to quit her job. So women were forced to make choices, teach and be single or married and be a wife. Surprisingly, that is why there were a lot of ladies who chose teaching and stayed single. Now look at us, we comprise over 60% of the workforce. Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt with us. Great workmanship.

what a lovely finished gift. very touching and wonderful work.

WOW, what an heirloom. You did a wonderful job.

Love it, and how to put it together, great job

What a treasure! It is gorgeous!

Now that is my kind of quilt!

You do amazing work!!
