Quilters from the past (posted by Lorri)

We come from a long line of quilters.  The photo above is one of my favorites. Our Grandma Von Soosten is on the left.  We estimate this photo to be from the early 1900's. I don't know who the other women are in the photo, but I hope Grandma had as much fun quilting with her friends as I have quilting with my friends.  Looks like a log cabin pattern, a popular quilt pattern to this day.  Sure glad we wear jeans when we quilt, their dresses don't look very comfortable.
Would love to know the story of this quilt.  Was it for someone's wedding?  Someone's anniversary?  Guess we'll never know.
