I LOVE THIS! And the untended, but wonderful, consequence of the Iowa Writers' Collaborative community is the amazing new 3:00 a.m. friends I feel I have...you know, someone you'd call at 3:00 a.m. if you were in trouble?
Anyway, I love that we have all connected on such a deep level in such a relatively short time!
The info is described as "a work in progress," which means not a lot is known. The info says the museum believes the work is Pennsylvania German. Think about joining the American Quilt Study Group (AQSG). You could find a mentor and deeply research this quilt!
I knew you wouldn't mind me stealing from you, Bob. See you in Winterset in July, I hope, then again in September!

Ditto that, Julie Gammack!
unINtended. Jeesh
Beautifully done! I'm happy you will be joining us, and hope many of your readers and fans come too! It truly is life-changing.
Marianne, I enjoyed your post. I’m curious about the provenance of the Centennial quilt. Its Swedish folk art is very familiar to me.
Let me know if there’s a way to find out more about the quiltmakers (for nothing beautiful is ever created alone) and the story behind it.
P.S. I recently met Bob, but only online. Jealous!
