The practice of inserting advertising in tobacco products and packaging began about 1870 and was common throughout the late 19th Century and the first decades of the 20th Century. A popular textile insert or premium was the tobacco flannel. These were made of a cotton flannel fabric and printed in many designs.

Popular subjects were flags, baseball players, and Indian figure heads of all the different countries of the world.

American women used these tobacco inserts or premiums to make items for the home, and one of the most unusual, looking back from our point in time, was the quilt. Quilts were made from silks, flannels, cigar ribbons. While these quilts are seen in all sizes.Ittook a good while to collect enough of them to make a quilt.Generally, the large sized quilt is scarce and sometimes we see embroidery embellishment used on these quilts as on this one.
