Here is the 1864 original of a quilt made by a Soldier's Aid Society
And Don's reproduction.
That is a wonderful thing for him to do, now others can enjoy seeing them in person.

Oh, I just love seeing the original and his reproduction together - so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love that book. It has a great close up of the Munjoy Hill quilt's canteen block.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about making a miniature of the Hingham quilt (inspired by the book).
Glad Don made the donation.
Wow, fantastic! I love seeing those 2 quilts side by side. What a wonderful project, and how wonderful that they are now donated for everyone to enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing seeing the original quilt with the reproduction. They are rare. All hand quilted and donated. What a wonderful person he is.
