Crazy quilt top made by Dorothea Catherine Snider Dunn, wool/rayon/perhaps dress fabrics in mostly dark colors (maroon, blue, brown, black) and irregular shapes, various decorative stitching (blanket, feather with variations, fern and herringbone) in shades of pearl cotton around each block plus embroidered flowers/ferns/clover/berries, multi-colored satin-stitched "THINK. OF. / MOTHER" under flower garland in pink and pale blue, 72"h x 81"w. The donor believed it dated to the 1890s; however quilt historian Merikay Waldvogel believes 1915-1920s because of rayon fabrics, bright blue fabric at one edge definitely 20th century. She says this is a "late" crazy quilt.Collection
