This MAGNIFICENT cotton 1850's red and green coxcomb quilt is all hand appliqued and hand quilted, with elements of reverse applique throughout. 

It measures 72" X 86" and is excellent condition, with the occasional small, inconspicuous spot and no wear.

There is quilting around and within the applique and in elaborate leaf designs in the background, all at an even 8-10 stitches to the inch.

The back and hand stitched binding are white and the batting is thin. You can see cotton seed residue inside when you hold the quilt up to the light. 

The VIBRANT COLORS and DENSE APPLIQUE make this mid-nineteenth century COLLECTOR'S QUILT stand out!
