F149 Stuffed Cherry Wreath
c. 1845
approx. 16 x 16
New York
$250

The two blocks pictured come from the same quilt. When this quilt was originally created, all of the wreaths were a solid overdyed green cotton, but not from the same bolt of fabric. Overdyed green fabric was made by dying the fabric blue and then dying it again with yellow, or vice versa. Over time, overdyed green will sometimes fade to the color of its first layer of dye. Therefore, one of the greens has lost its upper yellow dye layer and is now blue, and the other green is losing its upper blue dye layer and is leaning toward a yellow green. Interesting! All originally hand appliqued and hand quilted in outline, clamshell, feathers and flower motifs. The stuffed cherries have been restored with same date Turkey red cotton, and both fragments have been bound with the same Turkey red in a ¼ inch separately applied binding. We now have four blocks available; two with yellow green leaves and two with blue leaves. Please feel free to purchase any number of these wonderful fragments!

Q6805 Broderie Perse Fragment
c.1800
33 x 35
New England
$2,200

What an opportunity to acquire a very early quilt fragment in excellent condition! From an actual Broderie Perse quilt created around 1780-1800, this piece contains a large center block of an early block print taupe floral glazed chintz set on point. This block is surrounded by chintz birds and butterflies meticulously cut out and appliqued onto off-white homespun linen. The hand appliqué stitching is phenomenally dense, and the entire piece has been hand quilted in chevrons set 1 inch apart. The same chintz used in the center block was used for the ¼ inch separately applied binding, and the backing is the same off-white homespun linen as was used on the front. The size of this fragment was as Betsey found it, and she believes this piece was originally the center medallion of a large Broderie Perse or early pieced quilt. What a find in a perfect size for wall art in a small space! Professionally hand washed by Betsey, please ask her for more details.
