Charm Quilt
The making of charm quilts, in which no two pieces are cur from the same fabric, was popular around the turn of the century. One legend associated with the charm quilt says that it should contain exactly 1.000 different fabrics. According to the legend, when a maiden had collected exactly 999, the man she was to marry would appear, bearing the 1000th fabric. I used a few more in order for the quilt to cover my King sized bed.
