We bought this quilt at a recent antiques auction. There was a note on it that said it was made in 1869. By a 9 year old girl! Her name was also on the quilt, but I won't include that for privacy reasons.
Can't you just see the girl working on this, with her mama sitting beside her, guiding her and teaching her? It makes me smile.
I seldom buy for myself at an auction. Just about everything goes to the store to sell. But not this quilt. It's a keeper!
