Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Silver Gelatin Print, dated 1928
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 2.25" x 3.25"
"December 1928" was the month and year that this photograph was taken of five week old Sammy Cole. His mother, Mrs. Martin Sandford-Cole, is feeding little Sammy his milk bottle. Sammy's mother writes on the photograph's verso, "Sammy looks rather cross here and his 'mudder' looks like a Belgian refugee." The quilt on the Cole's bed is composed of eight pointed stars, alternating light and dark fabrics. The star blocks are set on-point and alternate with a printed fabric block.
