 Jacob's Ladder Quilt
Wilma Eichler made this beautiful Jacob�s Ladder quilt for her grandson. After the unexpected death of her grandson�s father, Wilma was told that the quilt had been donated to a Salvation Army in the Mansfield, Ohio area sometime in early 1999.
It is a full size quilt and is signed in Pigma pen on the back. The label says something like "Think of me when you sleep under this quilt." Wilma signed it directly onto the muslin backing.
The quilt is done in navy blues and muslin. The darker blue fabric which is repeated in the border reminded Wilma of fish eggs. The blocks are made of pieces which are approximately 2" square.
It took Wilma a year to hand quilt this quilt and she would love to recover this quilt so she can give it back to her grandson. If you have any information about this quilt, please contact Wilma at [email protected].
