Just look at this amazing quilt
#10
Amazing is the right word for it! Do you suppose it was a collaborative effort? I would think sewing/quilting together would have been a huge social custom for our grandparents and great grandparents.
All the stories I hear about life back then was work work work. Who has time to quilt/sew such fine intricate work?
And I spent a lot of time on that site just looking at them. But, I'm so taken by the Indian trade blankets! Can you imagine trading a can of coffee and some sugar for a work of such skill and beauty as that? All those bold colors and symmetry.
Amazing.
