Questions of a Quilt Sleuth
WHO? The signatures are from my Husband's family and mine.
WHAT? A memory from the last visit to the USA that included
extended family on both sides.
WHEN? Summer 199
WHERE? At family gatherings in Nevada, Michigan and Ohio.
HOW? Each time family members gathered I asked them to sign 3
blocks.
The 3 sets of signed blocks where divided between
my 2 DD's and myself.
WHY? Signature quilt blocks traditionally celebrate significant
events
These blocks are a record of Family
A search through the scraps and every other box I could find unearthed scraps of most of the fabrics in the original signature blocks.
