Quiltmaking in the 1910s can be best described as the convergence
of the quilt styles of the late nineteenth century with the new
innovations of the early twentieth century. One phenomenon of the
era was the emergence of major entrepreneurial quilt designers and
the exciting fresh look in quilts they contributed to the quilt
world. Two catastrophic events in 1917 and 1918 interrupted the
emergence of these new trends in quiltmaking. World War I, also
referred to as the "Great War" and the 1918 Pandemic Flu, also
known as "The Spanish Flu" brought hardship and death to America,
and the entire world. Much of the quiltmaking from April 1917 to
March 1919, was mostly focused solely on providing for our soldiers
and the Red Cross. With their quiltmaking skills, women contributed
thousands of quilts for one of the greatest benevolent efforts of
the twentieth century.
