Step into the past with this exquisite quilt, measuring 72” x 88” and dating back to circa 1870. Acquired at a quilt show in Arlington Heights, IL, this quilt is a true testament to vintage craftsmanship.
Crafted from high-quality cotton in a charming palette of white, red, green, and cheddar, this quilt radiates warmth and elegance. Each piece of fabric has been carefully hand-pieced and hand-quilted, showcasing the extraordinary skill and attention to detail of the artisan.
The quilting design features hanging diamonds and double shells on the border, adding a touch of sophistication to the quilt's overall design. The hand quilting is truly exceptional, enhancing the quilt's texture and visual appeal.
The quilt features Lily blocks set on point, alternating with plain blocks, arranged in a 4 x 5 grid. A 5” pieced streak of lightning border in red, or red and cheddar, frames the quilt, adding a vibrant contrast to the design.
While the quilting overall is in excellent condition, there are some slight stains on the back and signs of wear on the front, including a migration of color from green leaves to yellow. Despite these minor imperfections, the quilt is in very good overall condition, preserving its charm and historical significance.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this stunning quilt that combines traditional design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a touch of vintage charm in one timeless piece!
