Antique 1883 Silk Tumbling Blocks Quilt.  This rare quilt has women's names sewed or printed or written onto the blocks.  Research says it might be a Friendship quilt which ladies made during the 19th century.  It is made of silk which has shredded in a lot of the quilt.  The reverse side looks to have iron burns on it.  They warmed their irons on the stove during the 19th century.  While many of the silk squares are tattered it's not bad for 140 years old.  Oh my, the stories it could tell.
