Taken from Chapter 9: Quilts, useful works of art Popular designsGirls and women used their imaginations to create beautiful quilts.  Some  quilters used popular designs such as "log cabin," "flower basket," and "double-link  chain. " Other women created their own designs, some of which told about their lives in  pictures.  Young settler women made at least two quilts each before they got married.
