How would I date your quilt?
Roger Revell, and his family, has
generously given his permission to let me share his beautiful family quilt
and provenance with you to help illustrate the process I went through to
date his quilt. It's especially interesting because the provenance said one
thing and the quilt said another, which is a fairly common occurrence. It is
important to look at all the clues, and remain objective in the process.
