American Spirit 1880-1910
. "American Spirit" reminds us of a period in the US where tough economic times encouraged women to use scrappy strings of fabric weaves, velvets and even ribbons to create their quilts. This turn of the century fabric collection consists of various geometrics, shirtings and stripes common in this era. This time is also known as the dawn of crazy quilts and cheater panels. Jeanne offers that her inspiration for "American Spirit" came from an antique scrappy string quilt in her private collection.
