Period Coverlets.

[HCSmitty]

Can anyone tell me about period coverlet patterns??? generally how many colors one might be, and what were common patterns.

Thanks,

Hunter,

Pat Kline of Family Heirloom Weavers makes outstanding coverlets, you can check out his site for photos of coverlets he reproduces.

There was a book published entitled "The Coverlet Book"

Hope this helps,
