World Flag Quilt

This was made by my great-great grandmother. She used the flannel linings of cigar boxes. Hard to define what flags went with the world as it was.

Thanks,
I offered some photos of the quilt to a large quilting club, and somehow the photos reached someone at the Smithsonian. They showed interest in it and wanted it donated. My sister and brother-in-law are in possession and decided against donating at this time, maybe someday.

Wonderful family treasure. It would be interesting to know what that Quilt is Worth and have it insured. Or put in a Vault, some where. To make sure it will always be safe. It is the Only One of it's Kind for sure. Was it your Mom or Dads, side of the family I thought you said Dads.

Thanks for sharing this family folklore with Creative Commons. We used a detail of this image with an article on Policy Innovations discussing "The Myth of the Nation-State."
