Grandmother's Flower Garden, c. 1940 (Quilt Revivals)
|
Grandmother's Flower Garden, c. 1940Maker: Unknown Typical of the many flower garden quilts produced in the 1930s and 1940s, this one contains very common household fabrics. Can you find the printed "feed sack" fabrics? The loosely-woven fabric sacks contained chicken or rabbit food purchased at the local feed store or warehouse. Homemakers recycled them into clothing, curtains and towels, using the scraps for quilts. |
