Jubilee celebration frame quilt, made to mark the Silver Jubilee (25 years) of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. The quilt features a central block, which imitates the block printed panels popular in the 1820s made for similar commemorative events, with an octagon containing a floral design. The text ‘E II R SILVER JUBILEE 1957-1977’ is in patchwork underneath the oval floral patch, and oak leaves are appliqued at the side. The frames contain patchwork of triangles and log cabin blocks at the corners, and the outer frame as appliqued circles with printed crowns. This is one of three quilts made by the same maker which celebrate the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees of the Queen, following the same commemorative theme but made 35 years apart.
