Instructions provided courtesy of guest Froncie Quinn.Antique Quilts
The antique quilts that are chosen for pattern writing are indicative of a certain time period, method and/or have particularly interesting historical background. These include scrap, friendship, stenciled, applique, star and two-colored quilts.
In order to be the quilters' "eyes to the quilt," some of the original details are chosen to be part of the replication process including signature blocks, stenciling, patterns of the fabric choices (for instance the Calico Garden is made up of flowered fabrics), signatures and phrases on Friendship quilts.
