Quilt patterns have interesting names. This one could be an "Old Maid's Puzzle" or it could be a variety
of the Log Cabin, one of the most popular patterns in quilting. It is an age old pattern, going back centuries
to a look alike item found in King Tut's tomb.

This quilt was also made by Vena Young Neubert Baum and backed by Mary Clark.
This is a "Crazy Quilt", so named because it has no consistent pattern in the design
or material. Velvets, satins, cottons (men's ties were often used) all contributed to a delightful
work of art. The feather stitching, and sometimes other embroidery, enhanced the materials.

This quilt is an example of a pattern made for a four-poster bed. This convenient
shape had its beginning in Maine and soon spread to other quilt makers.
