Iris Applique Quilt
#1
I have to share one more quilt with you all. This is my "old maid" quilt. It was made by my Great Aunt Edna in Missouri. I received it when I was in my mid 20s. The relatives in Missouri just knew that if I was still single then I would never get married. Ha! I think my Great Aunt was chuckling when she sent the quilt to me. I had the last laugh though. I got married when I was 28. :lol:

Ruth, I had to go look. I had forgotten how this was assembled. Each iris is appliqued on an elongated hexagon. Those were pieced together then. Aunt Edna hand quilted it too which makes it even more precious to me.
