Catherine_Langdon_Quilt_2

My note on the back said it was made for Anna Langdon’s 21st birthday. Catherine would make the top and it would later be made into a quilt by others. The color was amazing-brightest white and reddest red. Aunt Belle said it laid in a drawer for years and that she had washed it in a washing machine several times. Amazingly, the red didn’t run at all! I’ve wondered if this is the “Turkey Red” color I’ve heard of. The dies they make today cannot compare.
