The logo is a patriotic crested shield. It is very interesting that two similar quilts were done in Oregon by organizations with similar interests around the same time. Perhaps there was some overlap between these objects. <br /><br />I'm sure you'll agree, the timing of the discovery of this quilt couldn't have been more perfect.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-38202595545971775222011-01-28T08:58:42.006-08:002011-01-28T08:58:42.006-08:00What an interesting quilt.

As a child (around 1976)I remember helping at a fundraiser/luncheon where people donated money to have a name embroidered on a quilt. I collected the money and my sister and some other volunteers did the embroidery.YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.com
