I just came across an old handwritten note in my genealogy papers (October 1898) that mentions a "Broken Brick" pattern quilt and am wondering what this pattern looks like - does anyone know or have a photo of this type of quilt?

I have never heard of it but would like to see it if you find out. Verrrry interrrresting

Here is one on flickr that says it is a "broken brick" pattern:

I just love finding little notes like that. Do you have the quilt or know what happened to it? It's just another of those old patterns that we should continue making and adding name to the back so it (name with pattern) continues to our children. Thanks for posting this.

That is a simple pattern but makes for a really nice quilt. Maybe you could make one and put on the label "in remembrance of" then your story of the note you found.

Oh, what an amazing idea! I love that. Wish you knew what colors were used.
