Emma Andres Fourth Quilt Fan

Emma's 4th Quilt
Fan 1932

Emma's 4th quilt was a Pink and Green Fan. She quilted it on her lap using a double thickness of Mountain Mist sheet wadding. She gave this to Ed for a Wedding present. Wonder if the Ed was her brother Edward?  I am guessing the darker background is green and the lighter pink.  With the print in the fans blades.

Emma says really made it before Wild Rose.  She labeled it 3a.

Mrs Pryor Andrews gave me the pieces all sewed for border and blocks.

I put them on unbleached muslin and quilted it on my lap.
