Nine Patch Block Quilt



Date:
Circa 1958

Size:
67" x 81"

Maker:
Unknown woman from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Description:
This hand-quilted nine-patch block quilt was made around 1958 by my husband's babysitter in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  She made two, one for my husband and one for his brother.  We inherited both when we married and they have been our favorite quilts ever since.  They're now becoming ragged.  Made of baby corduroy with cotton batting, it's wonderful in summer and winter.
