Tiny circles of fabric were gathered up at the edges and sewed together to create a three-dimensional effect. During the Great Depression, Yo-Yo Quilts were most popular because they were made from small scraps of fabric, yo-yo quilts were more affordable to make and whatever fabric was on hand could be used., hence feed sacks. This piece has no backing and is more a coverlet than a quilt. Unknown if true or fiction, historically though perhaps the most creative use of quilts occurred during the underground railroad. In the early and mid-nineteenth century, many slaves escaped from their masters via secret routes using special design patterns from quilts. Many families in the south have passed down these priceless heirlooms from generation to generation. Pristine condition. May be machine or hand washed. (Seller has done neither to preserve piece- however, the piece does not appear soiled). It also does not appear to need repair as all pieces are connected. No tears, rips, or discolorations.
