I Wonder How Old It is?
JULY 1, 2014
There is so much we can learn by studying antique quilts. Where did the fabrics come from? What design is it? Can I figure out who made it? And how old is the darn thing?
One of the ways that I use to determine an antique quilt’s age is to try to figure out where the quilter might have found the patterns for the blocks she used. And let’s be honest; the quilter is almost always a woman.
Today my research habit finds me combing through Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Quilted Patterns.
Cross eyed and loving every minute of it!
