Vintage quilts have a way of stitching the past straight into the present. Their patterns may be geometric, homespun, or improvisational, but each carries an unmistakable sense of provenance – evidence of hands, habits, and households that shaped them.
In this month's Better Vintage series, we focus on the charm of vintage quilts. In an age of fast decor, quilts stand apart: objects crafted slowly, often from limited means and abundant imagination, designed to warm both body and room.
