Attic Windows No later than 1950’s. Purchased in antique shop in Hadlock, WA in 1988. 87"x110" Fabric:
Cotton. Batting: Worn out down comforter with a silky covering. Backing: Blue cotton flannel. Edge: The
back is brought to the front and is hand stitched. Piecing: By machine. Quilting: Tied with wool yarn. Con-
dition: Very good. The quilt leaks down. Some small seam separations and one rent in the back have been
repaired. When seams were open, they demonstrated typical fading of washed cotton. Comment: The back
has one 1930s log-cabin patch, evidently a signature patch by the quilt maker.
