Quilt by Great Grandma Zeal
Mum told me a couple years ago she had a quilt her grandmother had made but she wasn't sure where she had put it. Today when I asked she said to check the linen closet and there it was! I almost didn't see it because it was folded with the plain, solid yellow backing facing out.
It is a hand pieced, hand quilted 9 Patch and appears to be 30's or feedsack prints. Mum is saying she thinks it was a baby present for my older brother, but it's PINK so I'd like to think it was meant to be mine ;)
It does gave some faint stains which actually pleases me...as I'm a firm believer in USING quilts :)
This will be proudly displayed in my quilt studio!!
