My childhood quilt
My Grandmother had this made for me and one for each of my 17 cousins in the 1960s. I don't know who made it or much about it but it appears to be hand pieced and is definitely hand quilted. All of the girls are pieced except the arms and neck, which are painted. My grandma lived in Pleasant Grove, Utah and this is probably from about 1969 if I had to guess. Any info that someone might have is appreciated. Thanks!

Oh, how cool. My DH's grandmother started one of these many years ago for DH's sister, but she died before she completed it. My MIL has the blocks that she made and has always intended to finish it and give it to DH's sister. Now, though, my MIL has been sick with cancer for quite some time and has never worked on the quilt, so I offered this week to finish it. I plan to work on it after Christmas. Nice to see what a finished one looks like! Pretty quilt, and in great shape!

I made one similar for my DGD and the pattern was called Southern Belles. Here's the link:http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...ed-t94369.html hope I linked it right.
