This ornate appliquéd sampler quilt is an excellent example of a quilt executed in an original design adhering closely to the theme of “A Century of Progress.” The appliquéd motifs chronicle some of the innovations of the prior century, including light bulbs, the penny-farthing bicycle, and steamships.
