It is not. I have the several lengths of the full print incorporated into an 1820s-30s Maryland Mathematical Star quilt. The fabric is finer than what Hewson uses, probably dates from the 1820s. Most of the 28” width is occupied by the floral swag; the leaves & central flower spike are printed as a half spray on the each side of the swag close to the selvedge. So the quiltmaker had to piece the two parts together to create the spray. We often see the swags and sprays in the same quilt<br /><br />The William G. (for Goodwin) Wilkins listed in the 1830 census is Wm & Achsah’s son. Ronda McAllen (who is researching Achsah Wilkins's quilts) finally found the elder William as William Wilking w. 4 slaves & 2 free.<br /><br /><br />THANKS DEBBYBarbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707021605394151966.post-74506293261894741842012-06-21T19:22:00.410-05:002012-06-21T19:22:00.410-05:00I notice a lot of designs I have seen in the colon...I notice a lot of designs I have seen in the colonial pattern books are similar to these types of prints. I assume that is where the ladies got their inspiration for their appliqués since they couldn't afford the fabrics?<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707021605394151966.post-1721468739443146532012-06-21T17:51:35.516-05:002012-06-21T17:51:35.516-05:00I just really like how the flowers form the gentle...I just really like how the flowers form the gentle daisy like border in the Lassovitch quilt...such details.
