I went to the Anna Maria Island Historical Days Celebration last Saturday and found this sweet doll quilt for sale at one of the antique booths. It's about 8 by 10 inches, made of 180 tiny squares, each between one half and three quarter inches square. It seems like these are 1930's fabrics to me. It feels like cotton batting that has migrated and lumped in certain spots, the back view shows the hand quilting. I can't decide for sure if the blocks were pieced by hand or machine. Anyway, it was such a treasure I decided to buy it for 22 dollars, and frame it. I just wanted a safe home for somebody's hard work. Now, it has one.......MINE!
