Information wanted about a very old quilt
#32
What if it is F & N N? Two first names (initials) combined with an ampersand, followed by the Family Name (initial) N. Does that sound possible? It means the 1887 was put on upside down, maybe by a second person?

The squiggle that looks like a funny c, looking on wikipedia here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_language
seems to appears on the chart further down the page under palatal-slender. The odd J is also there. It says the C is silent.

Did anyone search the web for "quilt 1987" ?
I did and there is so much interesting reading I may never get off the computer.
Another suggestion I came upon was that the initials were in memory of someone (a memorial quilt).
The machine quilting is interesting ...I wonder if the top could have been quilted at a later date?

I think that what is confusing people is the STYLE of the letters. I think they were enbroidered to look like branches, then leaves& flowers spring from them! coulda been a Nc name.I think the "c" might have been a maiden name. maybe its a copyright mark, and she forgot to circle it! --just kidding! The KEY is to get as much info from the gifter, to figure out who's it was. GOOD LUCK!
