Let’s talk about this incredible antique Trip Around The World quilt that is made with postage stamp blocks. This style gained popularity during the 1930s, when scrap use and resourcefulness were a necessity. Quilters often turned to every bit of fabric they had on hand, cutting squares as small as an inch to make the most of every scrap. The name Trip Around the World reflects the way the colors move outward in concentric rings, or trips, while “Postage Stamp” aspects of this one highlights the quilt’s tiny pieces that remind us of postage stamps.
