Description: Twenty black-backed blocks are framed by triple strips of pale yellow and black sashing with small, nine-patch blocks of the same colors at each corner of the block. The pattern consists of eight spokes radiating from a center hub, with a name embroidered on each spoke and a name, date, church group and/or class embroidered on the hub, allowing the quilt to be hung and read from any side. In the corner of each block are embroidered delicate flowers in various colors. In many blocks, additional names are sewn into the corners or sides, ranging from one to eight additional names, to accommodate the number of class or group attendees.
Other Notes: Ten cents was paid for each name embroidered on the quilt, raising a total of $22.10. When the quilt was completed, it was purchased by Mrs. Effie Reagan for $10.00, netting a grand total of $32.10 which allowed the church to purchase chairs for the Sunday School rooms. Mrs. Reagan's granddaughter now owns the quilt.
