my mom had a
quilt like that

Airplanes 1930s. Purchased at a Tacoma antique show in 2005. 73"x76" Fabric: Cotton. Batting: Medium
weight cotton. Backing: White cotton muslin. Edge: The back is brought to the front 1 " and caught by
hand. Piecing: By machine. Quilting: By hand in a square grid 1½" across, 4 to 5 stitches per inch. Condition:
Acceptable. The top has a pinkish cast probably from being washed with something red. Comment: This
pattern became popular following Lindbergh’s 1927 transatlantic flight, and is collectable as a period
piece.
