content: This "Sawtooth" pattern quilt was made in the 1930s and given as a gift to the W.T. Moran family who owned the Moran Ranch in Texas. According to the donor, it was possibly made by either Lavey Worsham or "Grandma Duke". The two possible makers were local ladies who lived near the Willis (town) entrance to the ranch, about an hour from Houston, and were family friends. The donor used this quilt in her (pink) bedroom in the 1960s.
