This striking blue and white Windmill pattern signature/friendship quilt top is clearly dated 1950, with embroidered names stitched in blue and red thread throughout the white blocks. The hand-embroidered signatures include full names and initials and dates.
Importantly, this is a quilt top only — it has finished edges, but there is no batting, backing, or quilting.
It is in excellent vintage condition, with several dark spots/discolorations - see photos.
