Sampler Album Friendship Quilt

Patrick and Massie Family and Friends

“Locust Isle,” “Walnut Hills,” “Poplar Grove,” Waynesboro (Augusta County) dated 1849-50
100" x 100"

This remarkable quilt top is unusual in its overall size, the large blue sashing that divides the piece into 64 small squares, and the variety of delicate and graceful patterns. It is inspired by the Baltimore album-type quilt of the period, but is a local and very personal interpretation.
