Found in The Public Domain Review, this essay describes the history of an unusual but very lovely quilt made by Adeline Harris in the mid-1800’s when she was a young woman. The quilt is part of the collection of American quilts housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

So interesting! I ordered a small print!
What an incredible story as well as a spectacular, historic quilt. How wonderful that it survives for new generations of quilters to marvel over.
Amazing!!!
