In her 1915 book, Quilts, Their Story and How to Make Them, Marie Webster wrote, “To make the great amount of bedding necessary in the unheated sleeping rooms, every scrap and remnant of woolen material left from the manufacture of garments was saved. To supplement these, the best parts of worn-out garments were carefully cut out, and made into quilt pieces” (64). Yet her colonial inspired quilt designs looked like this one, rather than a true scrap bag of remnants and reused pieces like she imagined her colonial foremothers made.
