Great Grandmother's Quilt

This summer when I went to Ontario to visit family, my aunt very generously gave me a beautiful quilt made by my great grandmother.



It is 77" x 80", with 15½" blocks set on point.




It is hand appliqued and



hand quilted.



My great grandmother Amelia Mitchell Stephens (nee Etter), 1865-1962 (this picture was on her 97th birthday). She lived in Nova Scotia.

I don't know when the quilt was made, all I do know is that it won an award. 
I also have a red and white quilt made by her - shown here.



I have it displayed with my other heirloom quilts in my bedroom (the other quilts have been featured in my previous show and tells).

Thanks again Aunt Carolyn!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!♥
