Mary Taylor Sheldon Quilt - 1888
Jerger Collection
Crazy quilt said to be made of clothing from the Sheldon, Jerger, and Remington families by Mary Taylor Sheldon, the aunt of Mary Sheldon Remington Jerger and sister of Patience Aborn Sheldon Remington, 1876. Curator's Note: The earliest date embroidered on the quilt is 1868, while the latest date is 1888, making it likely the quilt was finished in 1888 rather than 1876. A later cotton backing was added to the quilt sometime after acquisition to preserve the red silk backing.
