It surely looks like an 1892 quilt to me. And, yes Julie does always make us laugh!Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-87622242267109668782019-01-06T15:50:50.939-06:002019-01-06T15:50:50.939-06:00This article caught my eye when I noticed the pict...This article caught my eye when I noticed the picture with the name Permelia associated with it. My second cousin has been doing research into the family and we have a Permelia from the Civil War era also. Very different name for sure but maybe common back then.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01033103588186590299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-60797211829231350372019-01-06T11:38:12.205-06:002019-01-06T11:38:12.205-06:00Interesting about ties to Civil War, or a battle. ...Interesting about ties to Civil War, or a battle. Had to look up 4th Cavalry just because I see C's with the date in the center. US Army had 4th Cavalry - On 31 December 1862, a two-company squadron of the 4th Cavalry attacked and routed a Confederate cavalry brigade near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. <br />Then various states had 4th cavalry regiments made up of volunteers Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Virginia.<br />Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127440931416786115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-88769454565234111932019-01-06T10:25:27.307-06:002019-01-06T10:25:27.307-06:00Don't you just love it when a quilter dates he...Don't you just love it when a quilter dates her/his work and in such a prominent place!<br /><br />The reproduction Union Star quilt looks wonderful. I love the contrast between the faded original quilt and the newer one. It’s interesting to see how time changes everything. <br /><br />Great post, thank you for sharing.Isabellahttps://thenandagainquilts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-10815260598051600392019-01-05T20:24:45.503-06:002019-01-05T20:24:45.503-06:00That is interesting to know about the fading and d...That is interesting to know about the fading and dyes. Most of the quilts I see in our shops are from the 50's, at least that is what they remind me of. <br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.com
