Dear Jan, I too, have an interesting quilt from Montgomery Co., PA. My great grandmother, Elizabeth KULP was PA Dutch and my great grandfather, Oliver DUNLAP, worked at the Detra Flag Factory in Oaks, PA. He kept his wife supplied with flag scraps to make quilts. As was the PA Dutch custom, when my parents married, Grandmom DUNLAP made them a quilt - that was in 1935. The quilt is a silky material and is a series of red, white, blue, and yellow squares-in-squares. Unfortunately, time and mice were not kind to it, but I still treasure it.
