Sometimes the history of quilt can be lost to time (always remember to label your quilts). This Center Medallion and Broderie Perse Quilt; United States, ca 1840 by an Unknown maker "once had papers attesting to its New Jersey origins. But it was stolen from the auction hall in Massachusetts from which it was purchased." Featured at Houston 2017 in the Broderie Perse category, "the birds and flowers scattered on the quilt were finely cut from a variety of English chintz fabrics." Take a look and see what history you can find buried beneath its stitches.
