1880s Broken Wheel Signature Quilt
Circa the 1880s-1890s, this is a truly visually stunning quilt made up of rose and deep purple, almost black, calico fabrics with signed ink inscription blocks on the softest white cotton.
This quilt has many prominent family names that tie it to Neé England, specifically Weymouth and Plymouth, including Tirrell, Dyer, Lord, and Paine.
Stella T. Tirrell is likely the same for whom a park and playground are named after in Weymouth.
Signature quilts such as this one served as a precious remembrance for family and friends, sometimes to mark the occasion of a marriage or when a friend moved away.
