Quilt Notes: LINTON is listed in the LAC (Ladies Art Company Catalogue, which dates back to the 19th century), according to Barbara Brackman's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIECED QUILT PATTERNS. It is similar, though not identical because of the interior triangles, to a "Sash and Block" design, where the blocks are plain, and instead the sashing is pieced. Nancy Cabot's Chicago Tribune article, published on February 16, 1935, says that the pattern is native to Indiana, where it was pieced in 1876. Linton is located in Stockton Township, Greene County, Indiana.

According to Cabot, LINTON "may be pieced entirely of plain or print materials, or in combination. 'Linton' is easy to piece and, when set together in an allover pieced quilt, forms a continuous design throughout the coverlet. It also may be alternated with plain blocks and set together with bands of solid color." The design is reminiscent of a town square or bandstand, compare with ART SQUARE.
