The Table Rugs

Sincerely, Mary Simon

LEVEL: Confident Intermediate

Finished rug: 27˝ diameter

This table rug is an homage to Mary Simon, an extraordinary designer of appliqué quilts in the Baltimore Album style. It is believed that she not only designed many of the classic Baltimore Album blocks we know and love, but also cut and basted quilt squares to sell to quilters in the Baltimore area. With these kits, many women made presentation quilts—gifts for special occasions, such as births or weddings.
