Frank’s Quilt – 1943 and 2010

This queen quilt is part modern and part vintage. The blocks were found in a wooden box with a note saying “Frank’s Quilt.” Frank was Jaye’s father, and the blocks were made by his mother, Stella Gertrude Neill Bower, from men’s shirt remnants – plaids and stripes. She used the “Square in Square” or “Economy” block design. Jaye added the blue chambray sashing and completed the quilt for the wedding of a niece in 2010.
