               my mom had a
               quilt like that










































































               Feathered Four Patch Possibly as late as 1960s guessing from the red floral print and two patches with
               Toulouse Lautrec prints. eBay purchase 2013. 62"x82" Fabric: Cotton, a true scrap quilt collection. Batting:
               Medium thick, heavy so it’s likely cotton. Backing: Cotton muslin, pale green. Edge: The back is brought to
               the front 1" and stitched by hand. Piecing: By machine. Quilting: In clamshells, three stitches to the inch in
               lines 2" apart. Condition: Very good. Comment: African-American design aesthetic. For African-American
               examples of this style, see Bold Improvisation, by Scott Heffley (2007) and The Quilts of Gee’s Bend (2002).
