Antique Inspiration

This mellow-coloured quilt is an American creation, featuring the very popular schoolhouse design, which was much admired during the second half of the 19th century. The design is thought to have originated in New Jersey, USA. Quilt blocks representing well-known objects in pictorial form, such as houses, boats, baskets, flowers and trees, have long been popular in patchwork and this charming quilt is a good example. The quilt has a calico backing with a thick cotton wadding (batting) and is machine pieced and hand quilted. It uses some very unusual fabrics, including one fabric with a fishing line, fishing hooks and fish, and although the fabrics look similar to those used in the 1920s they could be as late as the 1940s.

On a personal note, this quilt was one of a pair Pam bought on a trip to the USA with her friend and business partner, Rosemary Miller. When Rosemary retired they shared the collection and both Pam and Rosemary each now own one of the pair, which is rather a nice thought. The quilt measures 70in × 88in (178cm × 224cm).
