Fonctions :	The quilt was made by the donor's grandmother from Streetsville, ca 1870. Known as patchwork in earlier times, pieced quilts refer to fabric scraps sewn together in blocks which were then assembled to make a quilt top. This top usually does not incorporate a wide border in its' earliest styles. The earliest pieced quilts were usually made in large geometric shapes which then led to the popularity of block patterns--undivided square blocks which could easily be sewn together to form a variety of basic styles and designs.
