Donor Statement:

I saw in the Madison Quilt Show info book that GSAFE will be doing and online auction. This quilt was made by my great grandmother in 1915 or so. It is a "Liberty Tree" or "Tree of Life" pattern...my mothers terms for the patterns. It is in excellent condition and seems to have never been used. My great grandmother lived in the Bancroft/Almond/Wild Rose area and was an active quilter with other family members and friends.

This quilt is about generational transformation. The top layer was crafted from a variety of fabric pieces in the early 1950's but then packed away and unfinished. The middle layer is a well-loved but forgotten duvet from the 70's. The two were then painstakingly united by hand-stitching a new layer of soft (but strong) fabric that will provide warmth and comfort when needed.

Note from auction organizers: Please note that likely due to being in storage and time the antique quilt top does show some discoloration in two areas that we were able to minimize with washing, but can still be observed in person. Regardless, this quilt is well-made and incredibly cozy, warm, heavy, and HUGE. We all love it!
