The medallion pattern quilt that Jane made is on display at Chawton Cottage and features a total of 64 different patterns of chintz fabric cut into several hundred diamond shaped, fussy-cut patches framing a central medallion – a motif cut out of a larger piece of floral chintz in a wicker basket.
I wonder where each of the 64 different chintz prints came from. From friends, family or perhaps the leftover fabrics from Jane and Cassandra’s own gowns?
