This quilt was made by my maternal grandmother's mother, Frances Cordelia Cornia Gillette.


Samuel and Frances Gillette circa 1880's


I don't know if there is an official name for the block pattern, I've seen variations of the same era.


All the petals are hand appliquéd. 
Something I found interesting for the time is the blue thread that she quilted around the petals. 


I forgot to get a picture of the back of the quilt, darn!


No date is on the quilt.
