Handmade patchwork quilts
are potential heirlooms. Anyone who has observed quilters
ply their art knows it takes months to finish a patchwork
quilt. Early women settlers would gather together to
stitch quilts while they socialized and relaxed. Every
scrap of fabric counted and was sewn on to other pieces
to make patchwork designs. These quilts became expressions
of creative talent. Patterns evolved that told the stories
of the lives of the early settlers and reflected their
culture. To this day it is an American tradition for
quilts to be handed down from mother to daughter. They
are treasured, and with the passing of generations become
heirlooms.
