This one was made by my DH's Great Grandmother Higby in 1912. It is hand pieced but tied instead of quilted. It was made from Great Grandpa's shirts.

I wish it were a better picture.

Oh, I remember when the embroidered quilts were all the rage. About 10 years ago I bought 15" blocks to embroider "blue roses" and set together on point with blue sashing. I think the quilt will be gorgeous IF, if I ever get the last six blocks done. It takes such a long time to finish a queen sized quilt like that.

I stored others of their quilts with better results with a different family. Those are still preserved well, but I do not have access to photos from here.
