Quilts, Full-Size

Antique full-size quilts are usually double bed size or occassionally slightly larger. Some full-size quilts are works of art with intricate patterns made from colorful, rich fabrics and intricate quilting. Some full-size quilts with 12 or more stitches per inch have an estimated one mile or more of thread used in the quilting. Here is a collage of full-size quilts.
