That quilts came on the Mayflower. At that time a quilt was a luxury item and only the very rich possessed them. The Mayflower passengers were neither rich nor ostentatious, being puritans! They probably brought woven coverlets with them. The Virginia settlements probably saw quilts long before the New Englanders. They were more wealthy and more class concious than the New Englanders. The earliest quilts in America were Indian chintz quilts and Palamplores. These were either made wholecloth or, more frequently, the expensive chintzes and calicos were cut into large peices and appliqued into Tree Of Life type designs for quilts, coverlets and bed hangings. The introduction of less expensive colorfast cottons at the end of the eighteenth century set the stage for the explosive growth of the American quilting tradition in the nineteenth century. We have the English, Welsh, and Dutch settlers to thank for introducing quilting to the new world, as they brought a strong quilting tradition with them from their own countries and that tradition spread very rapidly to their friends and neighbors.
