Description:
Postage Stamp quilts were in vogue in the 1800s, and enjoyed a brief revival in the 1930s. This quilt, with its many pieces, makes great use of fabric scraps. The blocks are made by piecing strips together. Investing the time to make this quilt creates an heirloom for the ages, as you can see here.
