Thought I'd share some more of this New Jersey signature quilt made for Elizabeth Hoppough in about 1850.
Look at the tiny scale and detail of that green print - yes, print! Click on the photo to enlarge. And the pink print is precious too.
Here's Elizabeth block:
from Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Main surname is Hoppough and was likely made for Elizabeth Hoppough whose name and birth date of 1835 are listed in a center block and her parents are also on the quilts as well as their next door neighbor Elizabeth Neighbor (no, I can't make this stuff up).
And you've got to love those hearts and there is another delicate green print. Click to see detail
