    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Embroidered in dark brown silk cross-stitches and eye-stitches along the top right edge of the center of this quilt is "M. Campbell 1795." This quilt is a rare dated and signed example of the use of reverse appliqu√© which is found in the center panel and the eight border motifs. In reverse appliqu√©, the positions of the pattern and background fabrics are reversed from those of onlaid appliqu√©. The silhouette of the pattern is cut out of the background fabric, and openings are filled by applying a contrasting fabric from underneath. It was not often used in American quilts. The remainder of the quilt top is of geometric pieced work.]]></dcterms:description>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Block printed cotton fabrics of floral prints, stripes, and small geometrics, mostly on brown or tan grounds, were used for the appliqu√© and piecework. The lining is linen and the filling cotton. All appliqu√©d motifs are outline quilted along both the inside and outside edges. The white backgrounds, center border, and printed fabric blocks in the outer border are quilted in a diagonal grid and chevron patterns, seven stitches to the inch. M. Campbell's skillfully worked quilt is a notable example of the reverse appliqu√© technique.]]></dcterms:description>
