Quilts4U Traditional Quilts Catalog

The Quilts4U Traditional Quilts Catalog is a showcase of our quilts which more accurately fall into the category of quilts made following traditional patterns, fabrics and techniques. This gallery is distinct from our Contemporary Quilt Art Catalog.

One of the fascinating aspects of enjoying and collecting traditional quilts is the name of the pattern used by the quilt maker.Rocky Road to California, Moon over the Mountain, Chimneys and Cornerstones, Mariner's Compass, Rob Peter to Pay Paul and Carpenter's Wheel (shown inthis order below) are pattern names that say it all. Pioneering quilt makers observed life, reacted to both it's blessings and its trials and immortalized themselves in the resulting quilts with their historically engaging namesakes.
