content: Small “Nine-patch” blocks, mostly constructed of block-printed cottons, are set diagonally in 5-inch-wide vertical strips. These strips are further separated by narrower strips of dark brown cotton with printed flowers and beige and white striped cotton. Linen thread was used for the chevron pattern quilting (6 stitches per inch). The quilt is an example of early-19th-century fabrics and design.
