Getting back to the quilts that were made by my ancestors, here is a wonderful Crazy Quilt.
I had no idea there was one in the family - a fun treasure!
This quilt has worn areas, mostly where fabrics are breaking down due to time. But on the whole, it is a great specimen!
Silk, corduroy, lace, wool, cottons - all seem to be represented. There are butterfly appliqués here and there.
