“Indeed, it is. Girls, this is an excellent example of the autograph patch!”
The Brownie leader explained that in an autograph patch quilt, each block was made by a different person who signed her name or stitched it in.
“This quilt has dozens of names and the dates when the blocks were made,” she pointed out. “See, some are in cross-stitch. Others have been written with indelible pencil or ink.”
“Then I did find a good quilt!” announced Veve triumphantly.
“You certainly did,” agreed Miss Gordon.
Carefully she folded the coverlet as if it were very precious. “You’ve found more than a quilt, Veve,” she said. “You’re now the owner of a possession which takes on historical importance!”
