This quilt was made in 1920 by Mary Mittie Belle Agner Barrier.  She used new fabrics and recycled scraps from her family's clothing.  Belle's design was based mainly on the animals found on her farm.  It is 71" x 80".  Every block has a complete scene.  She was very proud of this quilt and even unravelled a pair of her father's socks to use for thread.  It was passed on to her granddaughter with the inscription, "To Cathy, from Grandmother Mittie 1973" in the corner.  It is a masterpiece of crazy quilting.
