Mariner’s Compass, Maker unknown, Massachusetts, about 1840, The Pilgrim/Roy Collection from The Quilts and Colour Exhibit, Boston Museum of Fine Art, 2014.

 

I shared this quilt in July after I had seen it at the exhibit in Boston, but I just had to include it here with the others because of the quiltmaker’s brave use of plaid for the setting fabric and how spectacularly it adds to the over all design. Bravo!

 

Enjoy!
