Both Crazy quilts and Log Cabins were popular styles in fashionable homes from 1880 onward. The high-style Crazy and Log Cabins were made of silks and fine wools and were meant to be displayed more than used. The ideal Victorian woman created an atmosphere of luxury in her home through the use of lavish textiles and bric-a-brac. Crazy and Log Cabin quilts also allowed women to exhibit needlework skills—including embroidery and hand-piecing—worthy of their middle-class position.
