Inspiring figurative quilts with fabric in neon and bright colours. Made with off cuts of fabrics that they might have used to make their clothes, usually cotton or mixed cotton material. These quilts would certainly be part of a wedding trousseau. They are fantastically illustrated with symbols of love and courtship!
 
The Parrot motif symbolises love and courtship. This quilt was most likely part of a wedding trousseau.
 
These quilts are multipurpose, used to keep warm in the winter, cover things in the home and used as a quilt to sit on.
