Thank you all for your comments. I forgot to mention that this quilt is not on display because it is in such fragile condition, sadly. They have stored it in the very top 'drawer', hard to get to, and intended pretty much for research only. It is one of only two very early Virginia quilts in the museum and is the only one with the old written provenance I was able to gift with it. They were slightly reluctant to even let me come re-photograph it 4 years ago until I insisted. (Those pictures turned out to be not what I was looking for, though, so the trip was rather wasted.
)
When I gifted it, they wanted me to create a pattern for it, full size, to sell in their gift shop at the Visitor's Center, and perhaps to write a book about it. I might still write the pattern, the book not so much. I have always wanted to recreate the quilt with reproduction fabrics (as close as I can find them) and with linen as the background fabric as the original tan was grown, spun, woven on the plantation. Every year that goes by it seems like a more and more overwhelming project, though!
