Jean's Pine Burr


MANY of us were blown away by this entry in our quilt show last week.

It's a Pine Burr quilt recently acquired by KVQG member Jean Ayres. One the back of one corner it says "Bea Birthday from Lou 1982". Jean found some research done by Cuesta Benberry - Cuesta noted this type of quilt was commonly made by African American Quilters in the South - and that it is also the Alabama state quilt.

 

A true potpourri of fabrics were used. Lots of clothing scraps, some shiny fabrics too.
