Abstract (en)

Focuses on the collecting habits of Mildred Dickerson of Birmingham, Alabama, and her interaction with dozens of quilt pattern collectors throughout the United States. Expanding on an aunt's small collection, she embarked on an ambitious quest to own all known quilt patterns. The final collection (acquired by the author in 1992) included complete or nearly complete sets of most quilt patterns published in the United States, as well as magazine articles, newspaper clippings, catalogues, and books pertaining to quilts, published 1900-1990.
