Emily Maxwell and her Heavenly Vision Quilt
about 1955

I found this charming quilt and its story at the North Carolina Museum of History.

Heavenly Vision made by Emily Margaret Eller Maxwell (1867-1957) 
North Carolina, 1952
85 x 67"
Collection North Carolina Museum of History


 Maxwell "said that she had been sent a vision of heaven and that God told her to make this quilt."
Note the "HV."


The Museum has a wide-ranging collection and the website gives much detail about the quilts and the makers. It's really an exemplary site.
