1930s vintage friendship quilt, each block made and 'signed' in embroidery by a friend or relative of the recipient.

I wish I knew the name of the girl this quilt was made for eighty-some years ago. I don't, all I know about her is that she lived in Illinois.

We do know the names of her family and close friends - two Aunt Margarets, an Anne, a Minnie, a Mabel etc. etc. There's even a block signed Mother, so sweet.

The fabrics are different on the blocks, and it's a wonderful variety of prints and patterns in all. Some nice feed sack prints, plaids and calicos here.

This measures about 78" x 98" overall. Each block has a dresden plate circle hand stitched in place, and the quilt was tied rather than quilted when finished.

It's never been used, but has yellowed a little with time, and has browning to the fold lines. Also some brown water spotting from storage - we haven't washed this, or tried to clean it at all.
