Rich reds, deep blues, and warm creams in a pattern that feels like the most beautiful patchwork you've ever seen — Quilt While You Are Ahead is Textile Tales at its warmest and most quietly joyful. The kind of print that feels like home, wherever you happen to be wearing it.
These quilt patterns were discovered in the archives of the Index of American Design — a remarkable Federal Art Project launched in 1935 that employed hundreds of artists to document America's folk and decorative arts heritage during the darkest years of the Great Depression. Watercolour by watercolour, stitch by stitch, they saved these patterns for the future. We are fairly confident this is exactly the future they had in mind.
