Several years ago I noticed a tear in mine and found another quilt under the top, it was half of a lone star quilt. My sister had a twin quilt matching mine, but she had lost hers something over the years, we wondered if hers had the other half of the lone star in hers. I tried to find out from my grandmother but she didn't know. It is a mystery not knowing, but an interesting story.Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391464073651596128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-24523316029210719132013-01-25T09:29:29.476-05:002013-01-25T09:29:29.476-05:00Maybe you have a underground railway quilt on your...Maybe you have a underground railway quilt on your hands....that would be cool. :0)<br />Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791600868901270038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-66800575926288851302013-01-24T20:23:58.406-05:002013-01-24T20:23:58.406-05:00Lots of times you will find older quilts within ne...Lots of times you will find older quilts within newer ones. They used what they had and didn't waste anything. Either the women didn't have the materials needed for the new quilt or the old one was becoming too worn.

The only thing I could think of perhaps, the top layer was getting too used or dirty so they decided to spruce it up. since gfg was really popular in the 30's. who knows perhaps this was a gift, the maker didn't have the other supplies on hand, depending on when the quilt was made and where they lived (plus their income) people did have to be inventive sometimes. Just a few thoughts, hope you find more information!
