Hexagon charm quilt
Log Cabin
Collector Pat L. Nickols donated her collection of 300 quilts and tops to the Mingei Museum of Folk Art. They are showing log cabin quilts in San Diego right now through July 3rd.
The New England Quilt Museum is showing a selection of her charm quilts through July 6, 2014. See Charmed: Every Piece is Different at their website:
In a charm quilt no two pieces are alike. They are usually
pieced of one template pattern, above a 4-sided piece called tumbler.
You can enjoy Pat's collection at home by clicking on the online catalog here:
An unusual charm quilt in a tile pattern, pieces
appliqued to a white background.

Thanks to Pat for her generous gift.
And to the Quilters Guild of Dallas.
