Pieced and quilted coverlet
Not on view
Pieced quilts are thought of as an American specialty, but their forerunners survive in small numbers in England, where the technique was also used for matching bed curtains. This strangely balanced arrangement of small pieces provides a cross section of French and English printed cottons of the eighteenth century, many of them not known elsewhere.
