<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 361026, member: 23"]I can tell you exactly what this is because I have one made by my mother for her mother in the late 20s/early 30s. I can't recall the exact date right now. The patterns were printed in the local paper. Women would transfer them to a square and embroider them. The red strips in between were then used to sew the squares together. Back in the 80s, I took the top and quilted it to a backing and gave it back to my mother. I still have it put away. On one square she embroidered "To Mother from Thelma" and the date. On the opposite square I embroidered my name to her and the date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
