By the time the signature quilts trend got to Kentucky, maybe enough people had moved in from other areas and declared them old fashioned and out of style. Or not enough people moved into the area to bring the idea to Kentucky while they were in fashion? Or maybe it was one of those "it's just not done" regional things. But yet, I can't see there being no Kentucky quilters who wouldn't buck the trends and do quilts that were out of style. And as you say, it's not like Kentucky had no major cities with well educated and well travelled quilters.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-8351986286645500412017-11-03T15:57:56.758-05:002017-11-03T15:57:56.758-05:00All those ideas are good.

But there were many upper class, educated people in Lexington and Louisville and I haven't found any from the cities either.<br /><br />The signature quilts often do lose their ink----but all of them????<br /><br />And Kentuckians did move west, but people often signed their home when they signed their blocks. Couldn't find many mid-19th century Kentucky albums in Indiana and Missouri---the places they moved to.<br /><br />Keep thinking.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-37699412586577036402017-11-03T08:49:10.196-05:002017-11-03T08:49:10.196-05:00I know that my ancestors from Kentucky could not r...I know that my ancestors from Kentucky could not read or write before the civil war.
