Quilts
Quilts — patchwork warmth pieced with care — often touch pleasant, comfortable circumstances, with practical, wise ways winning favourable esteem. The dream may ask where you're kept warm by something patiently assembled, and whether the homely virtues you've stitched together are drawing the appreciation they deserve.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quilts, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of quilts, foretells pleasant and comfortable circumstances. For a young woman, this dream foretells that her practical and wise business-like ways will advance her into the favorable esteem of a man who will seek her for a wife.
If the quilts are clean, but having holes in them, she will win a husband who appreciates her worth, but he will not be the one most desired by her for a companion. If the quilts are soiled, she will bear evidence of carelessness in her dress and manners, and thus fail to secure a very upright husband.
