Pieced by Frances Keen Binkley (Mrs. Zephaniah Binkley, 1862-1935), a Mennonite woman living near Leola, Upper Leacock Twp. She designed and pieced a quilt for each of her grandchildren but had her daughter-in-law Vera Binkley (wife of son Edgar) and four granddaughters do the quilting. This quilt was made for donor Dorothy Ann Groff. She believes she was in her teens when the quilting was done, thus the late 1930s).
Some color variation in different print runs of calicos, but original.
