My inspiration account turned out to be an exciting family history discovery. Searching by Longbottom, my (Knox Co, TN) grandmother's maiden name, there was one item – a 1915 red, blue and orange Lone Star quilt by Sarah Jane Longbottom Davidson, from the Quilts of Tennessee project, Knox County. Thanks to the personal information included on the Index and my genealogy records, I was able to confirm that this was my great grand aunt Sarah, sister to my great grandfather Benjamin Longbottom. What a small world, after all!
