This quilt is another made by my great grandmother Gillette that is in my Aunt Susanne's collection.

This piece has a combination of hand work. Appliqué, embroidery and quilting.

The quilt is very well made in a nice soft, spring pallet.

Notice the consistent even stitches.

I love that the embroidery gives the solid pieces depth.

This is the back of the Morning Glory quilt.

Thanks to Karen who left a comment suggesting this quilt may be one of many quilt kits that were available in the 1930's, something she had learned in an article she had read.

I went searching for similar quilts in that time and sure enough - found several with the exact same colors. I love that we are able to share and learn so much via the Internet and blogging friends!
