Robbing Peter to Pay Paul Quilt, circa 1885
- Floral Urn Quilt by Susan McCord, circa 1860 - Susan McCord was an ordinary Indiana farmwife with an extraordinary genius for quilt making. Her Floral Urn quilt is reminiscent of album quilts made of large appliqué floral or wreath blocks. Large floral motifs were popular in the mid-19th century -- but McCord's version is exceptionally imaginative. McCord's love of gardening inspired the fuchsia, tulips, and daisies which spill whimsically from the urns.

- Ocean Waves Quilt by Susan McCord, circa 1880 - Susan McCord was an ordinary Indiana farmwife with an extraordinary genius for quilt making. This Ocean Waves quilt pattern was well-known in the late 19th century. But in McCord's hands the design is breathtakingly executed, formed of hundreds of tiny half-inch triangles cut from printed cotton fabrics. McCord finished the borders of this quilt with her unique meandering vines with colorful pieced leaves.
