The Black Octagon Chintz Center Panel was reproduced from a quilt in the collection of the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and used with permission (1997-007-0341). On the original quilt, which was probably made in the United Kingdom, circa 1820-1840, the Black Octagon is appliquéd onto a hexagon quilt that measures 98 x 93 inches. The only published picture that I have seen of this quilt is in Quilt Studies, The Journal of the British Quilt Study Group, Issue 11, 2010. The article is named From the United Kingdom to the United States: The Evolution of Chintz Appliqué Quilts by Carolyn Ducey.
