Quilts were not only to keep people warm, but many times commemorated important events in one´s life-births, weddings, moving etc. Some designs have special meanings, for example a pineapple medallion means hospitality, cornucopias signify abundance and hearts were commonly used on wedding quilts. As with many antiques, they told a story to the holder that was often mysterious and fascinating.
