Quilt measures 22" x 23", flag portion is 10 1/2" x 8". Printed on the white stripe "Louisiana May 22, 1861/ Matte Rosa Bonde" with a seven line patriotic poem. Various size patches of various patterns and material, the flag stitched on top of the quilt, the underside of the quilt covered with a gingham like material. The flag is very fragile, composed of nine pieces. The light blue field has eleven 1.25" silk stars stitched in place. The field appears to be nearly full size, while the stripes have clearly been cut down considerably. The quilt itself is in about perfect condition, the flag very fragile and brittle along the edges, clearly requiring stabilization. Text of the poem reads:

LOUISIANA, MAY 22 1861

MATTIE.ROSA.BOND

Soldiers brave' come forth,
You sons of MOTHERS'
They,ll chide you if you,re loath.
And yield your homes to others.
Mothers send them then, without a tear
Bid them go' and make all earth revere,
Their country,s Honor and a soldiers 'BIER

A wonderful family memento of the lost cause and a superb size for framing and display.
