Had a thought about Seminole patchwork, the pre-cursor to our modern strip cutting techniques. It really didn't start to be known/stylized until about the 1920s, but started earlier than that -- with the advent of the modern sewing machine in the 1880s.

Icebloxxom, I also have the book by Ruby and the collection of the Kansas City Star blocks. I got interested in the old quilts because I got a red/seaweed green quilt with a walnut died backing from an estate auction sale for $1. It had been in the horse barn and they put a Christmas wreath with it so it would sell--tossed the wreath. *Ü* Was told it is from the 1860's, no binding but both edges turned to the inside and stitched closed.
Thank you for the links |
Thank you to everyone who so kindly took the time to reply! I have been avidly going through the information (and links) in each post. What a wealth of knowledge is available if you know where to look, which I didn't, but you all did!
