Local quilt discovered at sale

It all began on a Friday afternoon in August 2012. My daughter Joan was returning home from work and traveled through South Beloit.

Being aware of an advertised private estate sale in South Beloit, she decided to stop and investigate. 

In her search of the many items at the sale, she discovered a red quilt with many names embroidered on it. Attached to one corner of the quilt was a tag with the name Forreston written on it.
