Baltimore-Style Album Quilt


This is one of the most impressive quilts on exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum. Look at the extensive detail in these blocks! It's from 1845-50 and was found in Uniontown, PA. Maker(s) unknown.



The three baskets like the one below are made from individual appliqued strips. This seems to be a bedspread; it has no batting.
