This panel is from a quilt made by my great grandmother (mother's father's mother). The quilt itself has batting oozing out here and there, was mistaken for a pee pad by my grand puppy, and has now been passed on to my dog/cat owning son who says he'll cherish it, regardless. I've photographed it and hope to come up with a semblance of her pattern using scraps I have and hope to obtain. It's a look that, though off kilter in places and a tad off color in others, has grown on me.
Great Grandmother "Sally" did the stitching on this one by hand, though I have some that she machine stitched. Can't date this one exactly, but maybe in the mid- 1930's.
I especially like the counter pointed reds.
