Shelburne Museum, "Pattern and Purpose: American Quilts from Shelburne Museum" (Broken Star Medallion Quilt, 2006-13.10)

source

A citation to the Shelburne Museum's own online exhibition record for its accessioned quilt, part of Pattern and Purpose: American Quilts from Shelburne Museum, read directly. Its strength is that the Shelburne Museum is the institution that physically holds and catalogues the quilt, giving a first party account of its maker, date, materials, dimensions, accession history and pattern description. Its limit is that an online exhibition entry is a summary catalogue text rather than a dedicated scholarly monograph on this specific quilt or on Mennonite quiltmaking generally.
