Q9002 Carolina Lily Basket with 250 Quilted Hearts c.1875 83 x 86 (210.8 x 218.4 cm) Lancaster County, PA SOLD Expertly hand pieced and appliqued using solid Turkey red for the lilies, a gorgeous blue with mini white dots for the baskets, and an over dyed green calico for the lily stems. Blocks measure 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 and are set on point. Appliqued flower stems and basket handles are precisely treadle sewing machine topstitched 1/64th in from the edges. Each lily block contains ten hand quilted hearts! The white joining blocks have a wonderful hand quilted center medallion design we haven't seen before and the white triangles at quilt's edge contain clamshell hand quilting. Detail shots are darkened to show the quilting details. Quilting stitches were wrought by an expert seamstress - they are tiny and very precise. The backing is white and folds to the front forming the 1/4 inch hand stitched binding. Betsey gave this unused and carefully preserved quilt its very first bath. The bathing lifted and accentuated the beautiful, fine quilting - it was only then that we discovered just how many hearts the maker had carefully quilted into her creation. A labor of love indeed. Ask us about sending this very special quilt to you on approval for private viewing. |

CON HT31 Garden Maze with LeMoyne Stars c.1835 84 x 86 (213.4 x 218.4 cm) NY or CT $3,400 A fabulous and very early cotton star spangled cotton quilt. Sixty four red and white calico LeMoyne stars measuring 5 1/2 inches each float inside a garden maze of the same fabric. The ground is a gorgeous light Prussian blue and white tiny calico print. Entirely hand stitched of course, as well as hand quilted in outline stitching throughout. The scant 1/4 inch hand applied binding is in the same red and white calico used for the maze and stars. The backing is a brown, rust and white plaid cotton overprinted with stylized flowers in dark brown. See detail image. A superbly executed quilt in a wonderful two color palette that absolutely pops visually. The maker had a fine eye for graphic art and chose her fabrics well. This would not have been a scrap quilt but made with purchased fabric specifically chosen for this quilt leading Betsey to believe the maker was from a well-to-do family. Special detailing includes careful cutting of the fabric in many of the stars so the same printed pattern is repeated in every diamond shaped piece – very lovely. This is a very striking, well executed quilt that simply demands attention and admiration. In excellent condition, this quilt would be perfectly exquisite on a bed or as a piece of stunning graphic art for your wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey it is ready to send to you on approval for private viewing in your home. Please ask her for more details. |
