    Description

    Here is a set of 48 vintage quilt blocks in the Capital or Imperial T pattern (using four Ts per block), #1665, in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman.  It is categorized as an Equal Nine Patch with specific construction.   The Capital T name originated with Carrie Hall, the Imperial T is a Ladies' Art Company pattern #88.
    Blocks are hand pieced and each measures approximately 3 1/2" (+ or -) square.    Fabrics are vintage cotton including shirting, ticking and small prints.
    Not all of the blocks are the same size.  This will need to be considered when combining four to make a block or using them singly.  Generally, blocks have been pieced to allow for sufficient seam allowances for triangle points.
    All of the blocks are pictured in the first collage photo.
    When working with vintage fabric, blocks, tops or quilts, prior quilting and piecing experience is helpful. Pieces were not rotary cut and cutting templates and patterns may not have been square. Pieced items may not be flat. Vintage items may have a musty or storage odor.
