In parts of the United States that were less concerned with national fashions, such as in rural areas and small towns, the Crazy quilt continued to be a favored style even after its peak of popularity in the mid- to late-1880s. In these areas, however, whether by necessity, preference or sensibility, Crazy quilts were most often made from workaday fibers like wool, cotton, and wool/cotton mixes, rather than the luxurious silks of the high-style versions.
