These Baltimore Album quilts, on display at the Festival of Quilts 2019 at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, are from the collection of the International Quilt Study Center.

The technique developed from the tradition of floral applique, and this particular variety became popular in the Baltimore district of Maryland between 1845 and 1854.

You can see why they were selected for this year’sbrocure cover and poster, can’t you?
