1885 Crazy Quilt Project



1885 Crazy Quilt, originally uploaded by espeedy123.

My mom recently gave me this quilt that’s been in my family for over 100 years. It had the following note with it:

===

Crazy quilt pattern
Good example of featherstitching

Mrs. Ebenezer Jane (Zane?) Reed
and Hand Painted in Oil by her daughter

I am working on figuring out how to conserve and display it.
