Quilt
Description
Pieces of an unfinished crazy quilt created by Mrs. Hiram D. Musselman. In a crazy quilt, irregularly –shaped “scraps” of fabric are sewn to a lighter weight foundation fabric. Rows of fancy, hand-sewn embroidery hold the scraps in place in a similar manner to the earlier appliqué technique seen on other Baltimore quilts. These patched silks and velvets were never assembled into a crazy quilt.
