Digging Deeper

The spray of lilies near the middle of Elizabeth Clark's quilt appears on a number of Baltimore quilts made at this time. The fabric must have been a popular import. You can see the same lily design in this Maryland Historical Society quilt that we believe was made by Mrs. William Shannon in the 1830s.

Quilt, Baltimore, c. 1830.
Acc. No. 1952.99.1.
