Flower Basket Friendship Quilt
Made circa 1930 by the Upper Fall River Lutheran Ladies Aide Society.
30 families, couples and individual’s names.
The blocks are all pieced and use a combination of solid and patterned fabrics.
The handles of the baskets and names are embroidered in black thread.
The ½ square triangles are set on point with the pieced bottom of the basket in the lower half of the block and the embroidered name and handle in the upper half.
Yellow gold rectangular sashing measuring 9 ½’ x 3 ½” with 3-½” white cornerstones divide the basket blocks.
It is backed in white and bound in a lighter yellow fabric and is hand quilted.
