The quilt is signed "Mary Jo" and dated "1941"; unfortunately, we don't know anything else: we don't know who Mary Jo was, or where she lived when the quilt was made.
This quilt that was used gently, we believe, by previous owners, as it is in decent condition: the only flaws we found on the business side are small or faint stains: on pic # 2 you see a small brown spot, and on pic # 10 you see a very faint brownish stain. That second stain is clearly visible on the backing, but barely visible on the top of the quilt.
We found no holes or rips or busted seams. The binding is in good condition. The backing has 3 stains. The quilt has no odors.
It measures 90" by 88" across, so it is practically square; it weighs 3 1/2 lb. unboxed, as it is a thin, "summer" quilt. The bed in the photos is a queen, 80" by 60".
The fabrics and batting, and backing, are all cotton. The off-white cotton used for the top is a type of fabric that is known to have been used by farmers, so it is likely this quilt was made in a farm.
Unfortunately, we can't say for sure if the solid color fabrics are feed sacks.
The piecing and quilting were done by hand.
In case this has any importance: please go to 11 and look at the bad of chevrons that go from more or less the center of the top edge of the photo to the bottom, "crossing" over the central blue star. You'll notice the chevrons are not arranged to form a straight line, but they rather curved a bit above the star and then below the star. The blue star, therefore, does not have its tips aligned with the tips of the large star: it is a bit "turned".
We suppose it is a piecing or setting error, but the curved line of chevrons that passes over the blue star is so well defined in its shape, that we wonder if this was done on purpose.
We combine shipping.
