We wouldn't be here today, enjoying quilting - of ANY sort !! :roll: :wink: :roll: :wink:
Patchwork developed when the colonists were forced by poverty and the navigation Act of 1651 to mend their quilts year after year because they were forbidden to make any textiles of their own. Once fabric became more available to them a hundred years later, block patterns evolved.
So, even if patchwork had never come on the scene, quilting would still around today in many forms...probably even Bargello. :lol:
I guess we can all agree to disagree here and the old adage fits ... to each her own ... and, ... if it floats your boat, row it !! :)

I think the only quilt pattern that gives me the "creeps" is the Coffin Quilt ... ie. the Kentucky Coffin Quilt, and others ... strange and morbid but fascinating !!
Not surprising from those times, where death was such a part of daily life - along with the common practice then of death photos of loved ones and children. So sad but beautiful photos, esp. the children :(

There's some I like better than others. It has more to do with color combinations than with the design itself.
I will say that much as I appreciate the time and talent that goes into applique, I don't visualize myself doing it any time soon. I'm a piecing kind of gal!
