This friendship quilt is made up of blocks in the "tumbling blocks" pattern. It was made by Evelyn Kitto wife of the Pendarvis historic site curator, Mineral Point, Wisconsin. It contains over 900 diamond-shaped pieces with signatures representing 500 local people.
This postcard is not dated. The caption on the back is "Pendarvis Bicentennial Quilt." I am not sure whether this quilt was made for the United States Bicentennial in 1976 or for some other bicentennial. If you know when this quilt was made, please let me know.

I love the visual effect of the 'boxes'. Great card.
ReplyDeleteAnd Cornish miners in Wisconsin, never knew that, I certainly learn a lot through PFF.
There is more personality to this one beyond postcardy. Great one to showcase someone's gift as well. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful! Very interesting postcard.
ReplyDeleteSomebody could easily plead...quilty! :)
ReplyDeleteThat appeals to this old quilter! Very beautiful quilt and a difficult one to piece. The maker of the piece did a wonderful job. Happy PFF.
ReplyDeleteI am always in awe of quilting and this looks a particularly beautiful and intricate one. Cleverly done too. I haven't ever seen any postcards showing quilts.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing these types of quilts, personalized and historic, it brought the community together for a work of art.
