examples are extant, the American quilt as art and craft is largely a 19th-century phenomenon.
The Victorian period marked the popularity of the crazy quilt, in which asymmetrical designs were made of patches of various textiles in a multiplicity of sizes and shapes often connected by decorative stitching.
