One fact I learned about the earlier quilts I thought interesting had to do with people's signatures on some quilts.
"By the end of the nineteenth century, red & white became the preferred color combination for quilts made for fundraising. Donors would contribute money (often ten cents) to have their names included on a quilt that might then be sold or raffled in order to raise more funds."
