Neighborhood

 

Quilt feature writer Ruth Finley apparently was not fond of house quilts.

Top, about 1900-1925

Some of us, however, are always glad to come across a neighborhood with

distinguished architectural style.

Such as this one with embroidered names.

It looks like the maker used a pattern similar to one from Capper's Weekly

called Abe Lincoln's Log Cabin.

From Old Hope Antiques

"Similar" seems to be the principle here in drawing up

house plans.

Everybody wants to express themselves in their home design, I guess.

From the late Laura Fisher's inventory

Houses with the striped logs may be my favorite---horizontal

logs or vertical.

About 1900-1925

After looking at architecture I saw logs, roofs and doors in this 

quilt recorded by the North Carolina project.

Attributed to Mary Simpson Garrett (1841-1916) of Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina

It's actually a combination string/crazy quilt

alternating horizontal strips of stripes with strips of angled shapes.

But it COULD be a house quilt....

Rectangular blocks--- 16" wide, 12" tall

80" wide x 60" without a border
