Quilts were a necessity in Colonial households, because it was not easy (and sometimes not possible) to purchase blankets and bedcovers. Homes were heated by simple fireplaces, and often bedrooms had no heat other that what radiated from the central living/cooking space. So it was vital for young girls to learn the skills needed to produce quilts to keep the family warm through the cold winter nights.

What did quilts have to do with in the Civil War?
Quilts were made to keep the men over at war warm. The women would make them out of whatever they could find to keep the men warm. Women had a very hard time finding things to use so they would sometimes use clothing of deceased soldiers. They also used feed sacks as the Backing. It was said that there were over 250,00 quilts made and only a few are still around today because the men got buried with their quilts so there are only a few left. The women would also write in a block of the quilt, and write inspiring words such as," We love you, you are doing a great thing for our country." exp. They would sometimes make the quilts out of old mattresses or old quilts that they cut in two and sewed together for a different design. It didn't matter how they looked because all they cared about was getting it done fast to keep the men warm.
