EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning applique quilt, affectionately known as the "Baltimore Bride's Quilt" or "Friendship Quilt," was created by Mary Ann Burton around 1942. The quilt is a beautiful example of American folk art from the 20th century, specifically the 1930s and 1940s. The quilt's vibrant colors and intricate designs reflect the rich heritage of decorative arts in the United States. The quilt's central motif is an eagle, a symbol of freedom and patriotism, surrounded by a colorful basket of flowers. The eagle is embroidered with meticulous attention to detail, its wings spread wide in a bold display of strength and grace. The quilt's background is a multi-colored cloth, adding to its visual appeal and texture. The quilt's name, "Baltimore Bride's Quilt," suggests that it may have been created as a wedding gift or as a symbol of friendship. Applique quilting was a popular craft during this period, and the technique involves cutting and sewing pieces of fabric onto a base fabric to create intricate designs. This quilt is a testament to the creativity and skill of its creator, Mary Ann Burton. Its intricate designs and vibrant colors make it a standout piece of American folk art. The quilt is now part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and be inspired by.
