Machine pieced, hand appliqued, machine appliqued, hand embroidered, machine quilted.

This quilt presents four generations of our family, four generations of values and beliefs passed down: Dutch heritage (brought to the United States in 1960) and Calvinistic faith. It represents two generations of quilters: Case and Ada Voskuilen and daughter, Margreta Voskuilen Silverstone, designed and created this quilt together. The team jointly planned the block concepts, the initial layout and the assembly of the top. Each member created individual blocks within a defined color scheme.  

This quilt was displayed at Houston International Quilt Festival in November 2004 as part of the "I Remember Mama" exhibit. Quilt is included in the book by the same name, published October 2005.
