Derby Public Library highlights heritage quilt square


DERBY - Though the Valley Heritage Quilt has moved on to a new home, Derby Public Library is still showcasing each quilt square to highlight the beautiful and diverse heritage of the Valley.
Today's square is...IRELAND.

All fabrics in this block are shades of green for the Emerald Isle. The shamrock is made of glass beads to represent the Irish crystal industry. Also included are wool and lace to showcase those industries.
