Description |
This is a quilt block with two paper pattern pieces, two scraps of cotton fabric, and a note that reads, "Remnants of / old quilt pieced / by Mary P. Belle / Stephens. Reference on pattern made to Lincoln P. / Stanton." The 13" quilt block is a rounded pinwheel pattern and is made of eight alternating pieces of dark pink and brown cotton fabric (four of each color). There is a brown piece of cotton fabric (14.5" x 5.25") with small dark brown diamonds with white accents and light brown scallops. The other piece (8.25" x 5.25") of brown cotton has light brown waves and small brown and cream dots separated by bands of dark red with cream, blue, and orange leaves alternating with orange peony-like flowers. One of the paper pattern pieces is a small hexagon cut from a document with printed text that read "To tax on $ / County Levy / Gold Watch, Carriage, Nov. 15 [inscribed]." The other pattern piece matches the shape of one of the rounded pinwheel pieces from the quilt block and was cut from a piece of newspaper. |
