A Quilt that Demonstrates Yankee Ingenuity

Yesterday, I stood transfixed, looking at the most adorable miniature quilt, in the Billings Museum quilt exhibit. If ever I saw one, “Giddy-up Girl” is an example of Yankee ingenuity. The little quilt is machine pieced but hand quilted. Pieces of a child’s blouse, picked up at a yard sale, no less, are utilized for the quilt blocks. Sandra Russ of Bridgewater, Vermont is responsible for this lovely creation.
