Well this is an engrossing read. I like the way the letters are used to summarise time that has passed as well as some pithy comments on quilting styles. I was at the American Museum to look at the quilts last year and I now have a deeper understanding as to why some quilts have a patchy rough and ready appearance when you look closer.
As I am just finishing a sample block quilt I was familiar with some of the patterns under discussion (if only because I rejected them as too complex for me) but the Road to Ohio block has new meaning mow!
BTW – I have been seasick – it is horrible but I can’t imagine a scenario where it would make me THROW AWAY fabric!
