Of course, 1855 was before the war, but I wonder - probably no way to do a sociological study now! Or maybe only smaller pieces of fabric were accessible, so appliqué worked best?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-49044617435543017092017-04-29T18:17:46.561-05:002017-04-29T18:17:46.561-05:00Some of the blocks in the quilt for Robert Wilson ...Some of the blocks in the quilt for Robert Wilson remind me of blocks in the 1857 quilt that Sentimental Stitches is offering free each month.

You do the first block, and that's so difficult and time-consuming, you don't want to make another one. This process results in lots of one-off applique blocks for samplers and the center of crib quilts. Applique is easier for some folks than others.
