Dating quilts with
accuracy includes examination of many parts of the quilts, but the
process starts with one aspect and goes from there. For me, the
style is usually the first place I start. I weigh other
characteristics against the style's era.
The style of
the quilt -- medallion, whole cloth, four block appliqué, crazy
quilt -- is the first thing you see when you view a quilt, whether
online, in an antique shop or booth, on exhibit or in an auction. A
quilt’s fabric is hard to date from a distance, but the style jumps
right out at you and gets the dating process under way quickly.
