Yes, they developed it to the hilt with some talented designers in the 1840-50's, but red and white applique was out there before and after that in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We also see a lot of it in Ohio. So if a pattern doesn't look like Mary Simon or some of the other Baltimore styles, why would it's origin be Baltimore? As I get older, I think the thing that keeps us all interested in quilts is all of the variation, anyone making a quilt can feel free to make up their own variation on a block or theme, of necessity (help, I ran out of fabric) or just as a matter of original expression. If individuals weren't changing everything and coming up with new versions all the time, what fun would it be? And where would we find the excitement of discovery of some fantastic design or combination we hadn't seen before? suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885011551892500020noreply@blogger.com
