This is a quilt my grandmother made in her preteens in the 1930's along with her mother (my great-grandmother). It was her very first quilt. The butterflies are made from feed sacks, and I think the white squares are made from flour sack fabric as it's a bit thicker and a little coarser than the butterflies. It was completely done by hand with that beautiful black thread around the appliques and does not have batting, only top and backing as heavy quilts are pretty much useless here in Florida. Out of all the grandchildren, I am the only one that quilts and so this little piece of family history passed to me. Sooo lucky!
I want to reproduce this quilt as it seems simple and straight forward enough. Just need to hunt down some reproduction fabric... and figure out what the background squares are made of.
