**Vintage quilts in American history evolved from expensive status symbols in the 18th century to functional, practical objects for the middle class in the 19th century, particularly during the Civil War, and became popular expressions of artistic creativity by the mid-20th century. Key developments include the shift to whole cloth and block-piece methods, increasing availability of patterned fabrics after the 1840s industrialization, and the integration of quilts into home décor and storytelling by diverse communities Vintage quilts are wonderful pieces of American history.
Throughout the years, from the late 1700’s, women created amazing pieces of art with thread and needle. Even in the hardest times, quilts were created by using “throw away” materials such as feed sack prints. Even continuing today, quilting is a popular needle art and women (and sometimes even men!) create and show these lovely pieces of American textiles.**
Today, quilts that may have been damaged can be used and “reborn” for crafting. These pieces are cherished as one of a kind pieces of textile art. Other crafts can be pillows, jackets, Christmas tree ornaments, or even purses. Vintageblessings will never cut up a perfect quilt, we only use the quilts that have been damaged, and we use the best parts that we can.
