Quilt made in India by Francis Brayley ca 1864-1877. via design-is-fine

Military quilts represent a unique chapter in the history of the craft. They are made from wool serge or worsted twill, used in the production of military uniforms. Because of the thickness of the cloth, piercing and sewing the quilts was extremely difficult and it is unlikely that any military quilts were made by women.

The article The Lost Ancestors of ASCII Art shows works from a typewriter-focused magazine from 1893. The butterfly on the far right has been around the netz for a while, but the middle one (by the same author, Flora Stacey) and the ship (by Frederick Carles) are new to us at least.
