Anna: Mom, tell us about this quilt. It is on a tan background and it has stars on it.
Mom: Well, this quilt was also made by my grandmother Amanda Perryman Collins. She made this one before she was married, while she was still living in Kentucky. I never found out from her what the name of it was, the pattern. And of course quilts do, sometimes they have multiple names for the same pattern. But I believe it was Seven Sisters was the name of it.
Anna: There are seven stars in each block.
Mom: Anyway, it was Seven something and it seems like it was seven sisters. Somebody told me it was or I saw it in a book or something. Anyway, she made this and she made, well she made 3 quilts and later on she gave them to her 3 sons. I don’t know that her daughter, the youngest ever got one.
Anna: That’s really sad because you got a quilt directly and then you got one through your dad, right?
Mom: Right.
Anna: I bet her daughter did get one.
Mom: Anyway, that’s about all I know about that is that it was made in Kentucky before she was married.
