Antique c1900s
quilt, purchased in South Carolina. The quilt measures about 90" x 90". There
are 9 25" x 25" hand applique blocks, set straight with a triple strip sashing
measuring 3" wide, and a 4.5" wide green border. The pattern is an Oak Leaf and
Reel Variation in pink, green, and that wonderful cheddar orange solid in the
center!
It
is all hand pieced, hand appliqued, and hand quilted. The quilting designs
include flowers, stars, ovals, and leaves in the ground space, to the piece in
the applique and sashing, and triple parallel lines on the diagonal in the
border.
Binding
is 3/8" wide applied pink print like in the applique.
Backing
is a white cotton solid.
In
very good condition, some small spots and overall toning, that does not detract
from the quilt. It is still very bright. One corner looks like it was damaged
and repaired, please see the pictures. A few small holes in the binding.
