Are you interested in learning the approximate age of antique and vintage quilts? This class will be helpful for quilt historians, antique dealers and quilt collectors. We'll take a chronological look at quilts made during this 150 year period. Students will learn how to date quilts based on "clues" such as: styles of quilts; common designs; fabric color and common color combinations; types of fabrics; specialty fabrics; bindings and battings; and more.
NOTE: must have at least 5 in the class.
