General Questions
How can I date, analyze, and document my quilts?
Visitors often request help in learning more about family quilts. Each year several Quilt Identification and Documentation Days are as scheduled at the Museum to help visitors date the approximate era during which a quilt was made, identify the pattern and assist the visitor in labeling the quilt. You may download instructions for conducting a Quilt ID Day in your location. Listed within the guide are reference materials to help identify patterns, fabrics, etc. as well as instructions on labeling and documenting your quilt.
