Wedding Gift Quilt

Wedding Gift Quilt

This Double Wedding Ring quilt was made by Hannah Maria Jensen Mortensen for her granddaughter Carma Mortensen Ricks as a wedding gift around 1942.  Carma stored her precious quilt on the top shelf of a closet.  The quilt was accidentally pushed up against a light bulb and was scorched and burned beyond repair.  Pieces were framed and given to family members.
