The Lincoln Museum Quilt: A Reproduction for Abe's Frontier Family
Woven cottons stitched together in a scrappy way are the stars in the early 19th century reproduction quilt. Contains a bit of history about quilts on the frontier and detailed instructions to create your own version of a quilt that's simple enough for kids to piece.
When Deb and I visited the Lincoln Museum a few years ago we were quite impressed with the exhibits. But we were disappointed to find a quilt from the 1940s in his cabin home. Ever the busybodies---we wrote the Museum and told them we'd make a better reproduction. Read the rest of the story in the book. And click on the quilt to see a picture of the Museum staff putting it on the cabin bed.
