[Illustration: WHITE QUILT, WITH STUFFED QUILTING
DESIGNS
This quilt was made in New England, and was finished in
1801, but how long a period was occupied in the making
is unknown. It was designed by a young architect for an
ambitious young quilter]
The animals also must be credited with their share of names:
Bear's Foot
Bear's Paws
Bat's Wings
Bunnies
Cats and Mice
Flying Bat
Four Frogs Quilt
Leap Frog
Puss-in-the-Corner
The Snail's Trail
Toad in the Puddle
The Lobster (1812)
Occasionally the quilt maker was honoured by having her name given to
her handiwork, as "Mrs. Morgan's Choice," "Mollie's Choice," "Sarah's
Favourite," and "Fanny's Fan." Aunts and grandmothers figure as
prominently in the naming of quilts as they do in the making of them.
"Aunt Sukey's Patch," "Aunt Eliza's Star Point," "Grandmother's Own,"
"Grandmother's Dream," and "Grandmother's Choice" are typical
examples.
Quilt names in which reference is made to persons and personalities
are quite numerous, as is proved by the list given below:
Coxey's Camp
Crazy Ann
Dutchman's Puzzle
Everybody's Favourite
Eight Hands Around
Grandmother's Choice
Garfield's Monument
Gentleman's Fancy
Handy Andy
Hands All Around
Hobson's Kiss
Indian Plumes
Indian Hatchet
Jack's Hous
