03-074; Winlie Butler with Two Children
1900-1909
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Cabinet Card c. 1897-1910
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 4.25" x 6.5"
A pieced Album style quilt is the backdrop for this portrait of three children. One of the children went by the name "Winlie Butler" as this is what is written on the Cabinet Card's verso. In Linda Otto Lipsett's book, Remember Me: Women and Their Friendship Quilts, this exact block is found on a quilt made in Vermont in 1860 by Julia Stevens Crosby, and described as a "Nine Patch" variation. The Crosby quilt contains signatures in the center of each block, thereby qualifying it as an Album style quilt.
