Origin Notes
This coverlet was found by the donor in Missouri in the 1930's. It was then catalogued as Pennsylvania German, but Alan Keyser notes that the single yarns used in the weave are more typically English, so the coverlet may be from New England. However, the blue tabby binder is typical of Pennsylvania German.
