In 2008 we'll look to the earliest patchwork quilts for inspiration in pattern and fabric. We'll focus on the framed medallions and strip quilts made from 1775 to 1830 before repeat block designs became popular. We'll discuss the fabric---chintzes, wood blocks and copperplate prints---and how to shop for reproductions. Each meeting you'll get pieced and appliquéd patterns for a medallion or strip set sampler and a good deal of history about the period around the time of the Revolution. Club Fee $12. per session.
