Historical Highlight – Sampling American Quilts

This quilt has a blue background with mainly white detailing, reminiscent of lace. The boarder is a white ruffled edge with small orange flowers and leaves coming out from the sides. The middle of the quilt is made of diagonal lines, with white, clover-like shapes over the intersections, and baskets of flowers within the blue diamonds.

We're taking a look at practical, decorative, and popularized quilts! This Historical Highlight gives us a window into the social and economic changes that shaped the quilt patterns we know of today.
