This quilt was made by my husband's Great-Great-Aunt. My mother-in-law gave it to me several years ago for my eldest daughter's bed. We used it for a while but then I put it away. It's falling apart in places and I just can't risk it being completely ruined so now it sits in a cupboard.
I've been wanting to do a blog post about it for some time now and finally got around to it.
We don't know exactly what year she made this but she lived from 1872-1962.
It is hand appliqued and hand quilted. Here are each individual butterflies:
The solid blue part of the quilt is hand quilted in this really neat design, too. (kinda hard to see in the picture)

There isn't a quilt label, which really makes me sad. I'd love to know when this was actually made!
This quilt fits a full sized bed.
I love this quilt and I love that it is still in the family.
