Signature quilt

Quilt, Tumbling Blocks with Signatures pattern, containing 350 signatures by Adeline Harris Sears

A signature quilt is a quilt that has multiple names signed, stamped, or embroidered on it.[1] While examples exist prior to 1800, the tradition was popularized in the 19th century often as a means of fundraising or given as keepsakes to people moving west.[2] They were also used to commemorate and document historical and communal events, or to indicate affiliations with organizations or groups.[3] They would rarely include signatures of famous people with one unusual specimen created by Adeline Harris Sears containing 350 signatures including those of eight U.S. Presidents.[4][5][6]

Signature quilts are considered useful as primary source documents for genealogists and other researchers.[7][8]
