Article Abstract:

Bed rugs, coverlets and pieced quilts are some of the bedcoverings predominant from colonial times until the mid-19th century. Blue and brown were the most prevalent colors for bed rugs, while whitework coverlets, spreads and quilts from 1790 to 1840 were inspired by classic designs.
