  She probably bought the blocks with the designs already stamped on them. Such kits were popular, even through the 1960s. I have a State Flowers quilt my grandmother made from a kit.

  Nice bed quilt. I like the way the green and red sashing meets in a chequered arrangement between each block. Clearly not this lady's first quilt. Pity the sunlight is so bright that it obscures the detail of the bird blocks. Wonder if her family still has it?'Tis very possible.

  "helps her husband" do you mean ... works along side her husband in the field, does all the house work and child care alone and still finds time to hand stitch 48 hand embroidered blocks together? astounding! and still we don't know her name, just the name of her husband.
