Q8841 Turkey Red & White School House Quilt c.1880 80 x 87 Kentucky $3,200 This is a spectacular and early example of a School House quilt design executed in the wonderful and always favorite color combination of red and white. Solid Turkey red and solid white cottons form fabulous striped houses – a design theme echoed in the inner candy cane striped border. House blocks measure 10 1/2” x 12” with 6 1/2” wide white sashing between. The inner 4 1/2” wide striped border is surrounded by a 5” outer white border. The hand quilting is unusual and finely done (see detail image). Double line quilting that is usually found in c.1840’s quilts was probably taught to daughter and/or granddaughter and fills the interior white sashing with leaf and vine patterns. The outer candy cane and white borders, as well as each house block, are diagonal parallel line quilted. The backing fabric is white cotton and is folded over to the front to form the 1/2” hand stitched binding. A truly wonderful red and white school house quilt in excellent condition that has been professionally hand washed by Betsey. Remember, this quilt can be sent to you on approval for private viewing in your home. |

Q8699 Turkey Red & White Bear Paw c.1865 72 x 84 Pittsburgh, PA $1900 Gorgeous solids in red and white have come together in this Civil War era creation to produce a jewel of an antique quilt.

CON JP Burgoyne Surrounded c.1855 78 x 83 Unknown origin $6,500 This fabulous Turkey red calico and white quilt was made by a very skilled needlewoman. Entirely hand pieced and precisely hand quilted this beautiful design is effective when seen close up and folded on a quilt rack and has stunning impact when fully open and viewed from a distance. This quilt contains the same Turkey red calico throughout indicating purchased yardage was used rather than scrap fabrics from other sewing projects, and therefore most probably came from an affluent family. The backing is white with a ¼ inch applied turkey red calico binding. Quilting stitches include cross hatch, daisy and freehand leaves. A wonderful find for any history buff, this quilt was made in the pieced pattern Burgoyne Surrounded. The name comes from the Revolutionary War battle of Saratoga, in which 5,800 British troops under the command of General John Burgoyne were surrounded by the American army and forced to surrender on October 17, 1777. This American victory was the turning point in the war, and during one of the periods of colonial revival in the 1800’s, a quilt pattern showing a large square surrounded by smaller squares was created and named for the unfortunate General Burgoyne. A stunning red and white quilt for your collection it would be fabulous on a bed or hung as fantastic graphic art on your wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey you can have this quilt sent to you for review in your home before purchase. |

Q8649 Red & White Lemon Peel / Rob Peter to Pay Paul c. 1870 73 x 88 Maine $2,900 A wonderful early pattern is showcased on this very graphic red and white quilt. Just two fabrics were used: a red and dark pink pattern, and solid white. This indicates the maker was probably from an affluent family as enough of this fabric was purchased to create this quilt rather than making use of “scrap” fabrics on hand. Blocks measure 6 ½” square and are both hand and machine pieced. Curved pieces are more difficult to execute well so the creator of this quilt was an experienced seamstress. Quilting is stitched entirely by hand in echo outline and parallel lines throughout. The backing is white and the ½” binding is treadle machine topstitched in the same red fabric as used on the front. The end result is a harmonious and graphic piece of textile art. This is a wonderful quilt for use on a bed or would be equally as beautiful hung on a wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey and in excellent condition. Quilts are always sent on approval. |

CON PW1 Red & White Hearts with Swags Applique c.1878 84 x 84 Probably New England or New York $1950 A sophisticated design in classic red and white! This completely hand appliqued beauty has grace as well as stunning graphics. Lovingly used this quilt shows some fade in the Turkey red which does not diminish its timeless appeal. Sixteen 11 ½ inch appliquéd medallions, each with 4 hearts in the center, are surrounded by an 8 1/2 inch border crowned with four long floral tipped swags. Skillful hand quilting consists of cross hatching in the appliqued medallion squares, double parallel lines in the swag border accented with teardrop quilting. There is double line echo quilting outlining the white triangles and a feather quilting design radiating out from the centers of each white joining block. Wow ! The backing and 1/4 " binding are the same fine white cotton as used on the front . A lovely work of art, softly faded with time – we should all age as gracefully. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |
