Quilt #1. Four Patch Strip Quilt, about 1830,
from Penelope Tucker's collection.


If you do an image web search for the words Vintage Strip Quilt
many  different styles come up.

Below is a common style we call a strip quilt.

Quilt #2 About 1940
So a strip quilt is a quilt of blocks pieced in strips.

Quilt # 3 Date?


Quilt # 4 1870-1900
Or is a strip quilt a set for blocks...

Quilt # 5 1880-1920

Blocks of any kind?

#6 Rotary cutting strips pieced together.

Or is a strip quilt any pattern pieced efficiently by cutting strips, stitching them together and then cutting across them?

Quilt #7  Lissa Alexander's strip-pieced 
Lone Star for McCall's Quilting.

#8 All in a Row, 24 Row-by-Row Quilt Designs

And what is the difference between a strip quilt and a row quilt?

Quilt #9 Double Four Patch set with chintz, 1810-1830

Except that traditional strip-set quilts are usually hung with the strips vertical. (The antique above with its cut-out corners seems to have been planned that direction.)

And today's Row Quilts are designed with horizontal rows.

Just wondering. You guys got any thoughts?
