The actual quilting on antique Baltimore Album quilts

[Judy G.]

Do the antique Baltimore Album Quilts have quilting on the applique pieces of very intricate designs? Was most of the quilting done with crosshatch and feathers?

Judy, the best person to check with about this would be Ellie Sienkiewicz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te53zI_gMEw
You can see some quilting by contemporary quilters in this video.

And all of her books are excellent resources. http://www.amazon.com/Elly-Sienkiewicz/e/B000APRITQ
