This is a mini-project for Quebec Quilt Registry that pulls together quilts that simply include public notes. Some of these notes contain only technical or construction details, while others may add meaningful context to quilts in this collection, hinting at stories behind the quilts, makers, family, relationships, locations and time periods.

It is possible that this quilt was acquired (won in a raffle?) by Ruth Tolhurst in Florida some time ago. It was displayed on the bannister and has acquired some light "stains". (1990's???)
