My great-great-aunt Millie, who I never met and died sometime in the early 1950s in rural far western Maryland, pieced about 30 classic fans using obviously retired dresses, aprons, shirts. My great-aunt Helen, a classic farm-woman from the past, gave me the pieces about 20 years ago. I put 12 of them together in this baby-sized quilt that I'm hand-quilting for Callum, a sweet little 8-day-old baby who looks (from pictures I've seen) like a frog when he sleeps.
