Physical Description
Patchwork quilt (18th/19th century). The attractive prints and cotton dress materials of the period are used for the patchwork and the repeating patterns, so small and unobtrusive, are well worth a student’s scrutiny. Examples of most constructive layouts are to be seen, such as stripe, diamond, brick, scale, spring. Etc. To see the pattern produced by the Running Stitch for quilting one must turn to the reverse where the simple diamond, scale and leaf effects were probably worked by the use of a template.
