kusmaulk Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 A few years ago, my great aunt gave me some blocks that her mom had made around 1900. Many of them were Jacob's Ladder blocks. Fast forward to the present. My nephew's wife is expecting their first baby, and will name him Jacob! I made this quilt for him using blocks that his Great, great, great grandma Grace made over 100 years ago. I quilted it with footballs, feathers, belly buttons, wiggles and piano keys.
