I don't have any background on this quilt. It is hand quilted with cotton batting. Some of the material appears to be from flour sacks, but I don't know. I like it.

Tulip Applique Quilt
Date:
Late 1970s
Maker:
Elizabeth Tilland and Nettie Lipscomb

Little Boy Breeches Quilt
Date:
Circa mid-1950s
Maker:
Ernie Pauline Tillman, Magnolia Springs, Alabama
Size:
67" x 83"
Description:
This is my favorite heirloom quilt. It was made by my paternal grandmother. This is a special pattern. Of all the breeches (britches) quilts I've searched on the Internet, this is the only one I have come across that has a circle in the middle; all others have a square. I think this makes the breeches more real looking. It has cotton batting and is hand-quilted in a rainbow pattern.
