05-021; Group of 17 women
1930-1939
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Silver Gelatin Print, dated 1934
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 2.875" x 4.5"
Written on the photograh's verso is "Christmas 1934." The location of the photograh surely had to be in a warm climate, as the ladies are not dressed for weather usually associated with Christmas. The 17 ladies are smiling, which suggests this intricate and challenging variation of a Mariner's Compass quilt was a group effort - quite possibly made for a presentation or a fundraiser.
