Alphabetical Quilt-Type List

I found a neat little website fabriclandwest.com that has several patterns, blocks, some quilt history and even an alphabetical list of quilt types. Below is a snippet of the alpabetical list along with a link to the list.

Album Quilt-A quilt assembled from individual blocks, each designed and/or executed by a different person. Album blocks are appliquéd or pieced (or both), and frequently stitched into a quilt by a group for presentation to a public figure to commemorate a special occasion. In the past, blocks often were signed and dated by the maker in India ink or embroidery. Today, special markers are available for signing.

Amish Quilt-Quilts done in the style of the Amish. Usually solid materials in deep hues. Patterns tend to be geometric with intense, heavy quilting, often feathers, scrolls, cables. Click picture for larger view.
