When the Americans first tried his hand at quilt-making in colonial times, it was an art long practiced in England. Despite delay in the start, women (and sometimes men) who worked on quilts on these shores are credited with the development of art to its best level. All this was done with a frequent lack of formal education or artistic background.
During the early years, the many hours required to design and sew are scarce. Although the yard goods are available the cost could be prohibitive for agriculture and the common people had little or no money to spare. Before the American Revolution colonies banned the manufacture of better materials, forcing the importation from England, and even higher prices, France. In fact, the end of the 18th century, quilts were mostly whole cloth quilts that requires costly yards that could be afforded only by the well-do women along the east coast and the southern plantations. It is a popular impression that the remains of the clothes worn have always been incorporated into the quilts, but this is not reality. In the 19th century, was a rare cabinet overflowed with clothing, especially among women farmers. Cabinets were very limited and few clothes property Women and children were generally used in non-functional pieces. .
In the mid 1830s, American factories produced annually around 120 million yards of printed cotton cloth, about a third of production in Britain. Most fabrics were utilitarian commodity … Many were small drawings and block prints printing roller dress in two or three colors do not match the quality of imports of English. As a result, Americans seeking high quality printed textiles had no choice but to turn to European textiles. The prices were high. In 1841, a merchant in Hartford (Connecticut) announced American, English, French and calicos ranging from 6 cents to 37 cents a yard. The tissues were French … too expensive.
"Drabs" which emphasized the Brown family and dull green, were a more important election for quilts of the mid-19th century. Colors gray reflects the great modesty of the times and the dark shadow of civil war (and hid the land to boot).
The name of a quilt often reflects a stage of life. Here is a sample
 • The presentation or friendship quilt – used as a gift for a girlfriend, friend or exit cleric. Each block was completed by another person, and often include written signatures or embroidery or verses. Quilts of this design is also known as "Album Quilts. "
– The Bride or Wedding Quilt – is considered unlucky for the bride to make her own quilt, so the friends often completed signature block. Palomas, love knots, hearts and cupids were the favored decorations.
 • Memorial or Memory Quilt – lined with black, somber colors and fashionable clothes of a deceased loved one.
 • Commemorative Quilts – keep current issues to the fore. Flags, symbols patriotic commemorative handkerchiefs or other printed materials are common causes. Designs can be spread on the bedspread, or a single, large symbol, surrounded by several borders, focused on the quilt. (Sometimes called "Medallion Quilt).
 • Sampler Quilt – a mixture of many patterns frequently made as a reference, or to provoke new ideas.
