Family Coverlet

I have an interesting coverlet that Grandma W. made at some point in her life. Apparently sometime in the '60's at the earliest, since my cousin & my names are in it. It doesn't have any batting, it's simply a top made of various squares of corduroy, and a back with our family's names stitched onto it.

Black, blue and green colors of corduroy.




Closeup of the decorative stitching in the middle - different colors of thread, various stitches, almost a "crazy quilt" look.




Whole view of back - gray material, with all our names stitched by hand in red thread.




A look at the corner - outline stitching around pieces.




A look at the red stitching - front, back, edge.




One aunt and uncle and their boys.

Everybody - Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, my own little family.
