Happy Thanksgiving; changing of the quilts

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends and family!  The turkey is taking care of itself in the oven right now, so I took a little time to switch some quilts.  I am not mentally ready for Christmas yet, so I did not get the red and green quilts out yet.  I decided to enjoy fall quilts for a couple more weeks.  In the living room, ca. 1860 PA quilt.  Check out those borders...and the brown print on the back, no plain white muslin for those PA quilters.  This one is about 74 inches square in size.









In the quilt lab...another PA quilt, this time a crib size, 42 inches square. 

antique ironing boards--- people-size and doll-size.





Similar fabrics and colors in both quilts, even the back, another brown print.

    Happy Thanksgiving! Those quilts are great, but it makes me wonder if the quilters who made these were wealthier than average to afford such a wonderful back? (I admit, I'm not as versed in quilty history as maybe I should be!)
