And so the chintz is taking that calico fabric and there are woodblock designs that are pressed onto that textile.

And so because you're able to identify that texture,

That is something that is happening earlier on, like pre-18, mid-1800s.

That is kind of like an indicator of that early quilt.

You did mention the charm quilt.

I think a defining characteristic of that is the amount of fabrics that are displayed on that quilt specifically.

I think when you think about charm, a lot of people will use scraps of fabric that they have collected over the years to assemble those quilts.

Charm quilts can...

be made in many different designs.

So you might have pieces of fabric that are triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, but really it's the amount of different fabrics that are there.

Charm quilts can have fabrics that range decades sometimes.

Yeah, if there's fabric that's been passed down, like sometimes that will end up in the quilt.

Some people will take, if they're souvenirs, pieces of like a handkerchief

that might end up in the quilt.

So it's scraps.

Sometimes people put different clothing pieces, furnishings.

And so it really is like a collection of all these scraps.

So those are two examples of quilts.

I definitely have more that I can share if you would like.

Yes.
