This wool quilt top in the pattern known as "Brick" was made in the early twentieth century by Bettie Hughes Buchanan of Mitchell County, North Carolina. The quilt top is pieced by machine using men's suiting fabric samples. The quilt is embroidered with names of the quilt maker's family and friends as well as other stitched embellishments. The 1910 Census of Mitchell County lists Bettie Buchanan as forty years old and married to Alfred Buchanan, age thirty-one.
