1880-1889
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Cased Tintype, dated 1889
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 2.625" x 3.25"
When I popped the image out of the case, I found written in pencil: Died October 10, 1889. Unfortunately, the child's name was not given. Resembling a set of blocks, the quilt's pattern is known by today's quilters as Baby Blocks or Tumbling Blocks.
