People Beneath the Quilts

  
Museum Collection,
Maryland Historical Society

Martha George Crowl, David Crowl's sister pictured here, made two of the quilt squares with similar motifs. Few images of early and mid-19th century quilters have been located. Like many other Baltimore album quilts, this was a cooperative effort by relatives and friends. The quilting process was a social occasion.
