Physical Description: Primarily wool quilt, pieced in random pattern.
Description: Heavy with blanket filling, this utilitarian quilt was abandoned in a cellar trunk. To our modern eyes its design might evoke an aerial landscape of the region's patchwork of farmland. But perhaps this quiltscape's charm is simply happenstance, the result of a quilter's need for bedding to keep the hired man from freezing in the bunkhouse.
