Pineapple, c. 1910 and 1939 (Fancy Quilts)

Pineapple, c. 1910 and 1939

Maker: Matilda Anderson and Johanna Anderson

A single woman, working at Spokane's Crescent Store fur department about 1910, Matilda Anderson carefully saved colorful remnants from the coat linings that she replaced. After piecing the swirling pineapple shapes, she asked her sister-in-law Johanna to finish the quilt. Tying the front to back in a hidden method, Johanna completed the piece. Matilda then gave it to her.
