A Quilt

My latest aquisition:  The A Quilt, as I call it.  I just love it!  This is a very special antique doll quilt that I have had my eye on for a long time.  I finally realized it needed to be in my collection and contacted the dealer who owned it.  A is for Ann, but in this case actually Anna.
So many antique quilts have little or no information associated with them.. This one is different.  I have detailed provenance on it.    It was made by Anna Miller of Brownstown, Lancaster County, PA ca. 1935 for her daughter Anna.  It measures 14.5 " x 14.5 ".  The quilt appears in this book, along with the details on its history.

    Great quilt - my daughter is named Amy. I should have made her an A quilt. I did make an H doll quilt (for my maiden name) and turned every other block, so it became a HI quilt!
    Such a nice addition to your doll quilt collection - congratulation!
