A quilt from the 1930s.
It's a bit hard to see, but each of the ladies on the quilt has a gathered skirt, and they have a black blanket-stitch around the edge of thes skirts. The women surrounding the central frame are "working" on an Ohio Star pattern, one of the more popular designs of the 1800s. I think. I'll have to check. That may be a LeMoyne Star, but I'm not as up on my quilt patterns as I should be.
There's a heavy feather pattern, surrounding a cross-hatched middle. There are harps quilted in between the ladies.
Although I didn't record the information as well as I should have, since I'm falling down on the documentation side of the house, this is a "commemoration" quilt from the 1930s. What you see here is all hand-quilted. This lady had WAY more patience than I do.
