Early 1890s Family Quilt
McGill Family Quilt --
Recently this part of the McGill family has acquired an early 1890s McGill family quilt. The quilt books called the pattern the North Carolina Rose.
The Great workmanship has withstood those over-100 years very well!
This family heirloom came from the Wm. P. McGill family when W.P.'s wife, Isabelle Johnson McGill, pieced and quilted it for one of their sons, James A. McGill at Coats, Kansas, between the years 1890-1895. James was an older brother to my grandfather, Wm. Jacob McGill.
It has been in the McGill family ever since my great-grandmother Isabelle Johnson McGill sent it with James A. McGill when he came to the Cherokee Outlet Run in Oklahoma Territory.
There was a note card that came with it and handwritten by James' sister, Lulu McGill Erskine, that reads, "James A. McGill quilt. Pieced and quilted by mother McGill at Coats, Kansas. I would say between the years of 1890 to 1895."
