Both the quilting and applique are hand sewn. Quilt is intact with some fading of frontside cloth appliques.
A note about the quilt says it was made by the 80 year old aunt of Marcella Pedrick Morgan. As Marcella's father, Sam, did not have sisters "Aunt Mary" is probably a sister of her mother Mildred who was born in 1875. Quilt probably dates c. 1900.
