A finished quilt with various quilt pattern designs, some partial blocks. The overall design is &#8220;Sampler Quilt.&#8221;

She calls herself &#8220;an inadvertent collector of Egyptian appliqué&#8221; and found her pieces to collect, in Maine and online beginning in the 1980s.
Although she apologized for the &#8220;amateurish&#8221; look of her photos, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Within the last 20 years, I have run across a number of people who have tried to formulate a list of characteristics of African-American quilts. In one instant, a (white) woman with a quilt shop, instituted classes to teach others how to make an African-American quilt. The quilt would be brightly colored and asymmetrical. She&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Nunn McCrea made a quilt about 1830, an educated guess on my part as to the date. She was born in 1779 and died in 1859. She married William McCrea (1776-1858) and proceeded to have a son named Samuel McCrea (1816-1899). He married Emeline Swazey, an ancestral relative to the late Patrick Swazey.

		<description><![CDATA[The last time I visited with a dear friend of mine, she left a quilt with me that she calls &#8220;Yellow Work&#8221; Quilt. Most likely, it was made in Pennsylvania. The color is a good tip-off to that. She accompanying paperwork states that the quilt is from circa 1930, and measures 76&#8243; long x 75&#8243; [...]]]></description>
