Sunburst pattern quilt created and pieced by Sylvia Demaris and quilted by Sandy Hawks
DAYTON--The Dayton Historic Depot is showing a new quilt exhibit for 2016. Tamara Fritze, museum director at the Depot, said there are 25 quilts in the exhibit and they range in age from almost 100 years old to just a few months old. A few of the quilts are older, but most are modern, she said.
Fritze said the fabrics used in the quilts are traditional and modern. Reproduction fabric was used in some, as well as batik and flannel, she said.
Sylvia Demaris' quilt, Burgoyne Surrounded, is a Civil War era pattern for which reproduction Civil War era fabric was used, Fritze said.
