Interesting new doll quilt

I recently received this antique doll quilt that I won in an on-line auction. It is not a perfect piece, with some fabric loss, but is an interesting piece.

Here is the front, which is what I could see in the auction photo.  The half square triangles are about 1/2 inch in size.  You can see a little Prussian blue, some green and a touch of cheddar.  Some of these fabrics date to ca. 1850, but others appear to be late 19th century.  I would date the piece to around 1890.

The front is all I could see in the on-line auction, so when I received the quilt and looked at the back, I had a nice surprise.  A date in cross-stitch, 1892.

The back is a crazy quilt piece with much of the silk fabric lost.  From what I can read, it says

 aged 68?? (the 8 is clear to me but what do you think the other number is?) 1892. 

 Hard to see in the fuzzy photo, but there is white cross-stitch that says To Ebbie.  Also on the blue piece on the left it looks like Vt. (vermont?)

 On this black and white fabric I can make out the word Mother.  There is another word that might say "from" but I can't really be sure.  So did Mother make this for Ebbie in 1892?  Was mother 68 at the time--doubtful.  Unless mother was grandmother.  Or maybe Ebbie was 8 in 1892 and the figure bfore the 8 is not a number
