Q8344 Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam Combination c. 1928 76 wide x 63 long CT was $1,600, now $1,200 Such an unusual find! This quilt is a perfect combination of colors and patterns for any child, and wouldn't it be fun on the wall in a twins' room? Judging by the unusual dimensions, perhaps it was originally made for this purpose, but it was never used. The sashing and borders are comprised of pink and blue cotton sateen, and the binding is formed from the turned over pink backing. This quilt has been machine pieced, but the Sues and Sams have been hand appliqued and embroidered, and the quilting is by hand as well. The quilt is in mint condition; all the cotton sateen still has its original shine, so Betsey will leave the professional washing decision up to you.  |

Q6475 Joseph’s Coat Quilt c.1900 78”x86” Lancaster County, Pennsylvania was $2,400, now $1,400 This piece is either Amish or Mennonite in origin, and the pattern gets its name from the Old Testament story of Joseph and his coat of many colors.

Q8456 Indigo and White Latticework Variation of Burgoyne Surrounded c.1835 84 x 87 Baltimore, Maryland was $2,800, now $1,800 This fabulously graphic, deep indigo block print and white quilt was made by a very skilled needlewoman with an artist’s eye. Entirely hand pieced and precisely hand quilted in tiny 3/8 inch crosshatching and quadruple lines spaced a mere ¼ inch apart. A wonderful find for any history buff, this quilt was made in a latticework adaptation of 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. This particular quilter adapted this pattern to a very graphic indigo and white latticework. The deep indigo with tiny white double dots has been used for the 1 inch wide latticework strips, and the 6 ½ inch border was formed from six alternating strips of indigo and white. The separately applied ¼ binding is indigo and the backing is white. This unique quilt has been loved yet is still wonderful. In Betsey’s opinion, its graphics would show better on a bed than on a wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

Q7072 Rose Wreath with Buds (Stuffed Work) c.1845 78”x80” New York was $4,900, now $2,900 This gorgeous quilt has been hand appliqued from overdyed green, turkey red, turkey red calico and cheddar fabrics with some of the tiniest stitches Betsey has ever seen. Equally fine hand quilting covers the entire piece, and quilted hearts and shamrocks have been liberally sprinkled throughout. We have restored the tips of the buds and stuffed centers of the flowers using c.1815 Turkey red calico. This is a quilt any collector will treasure; on a scale of 1 to 10, Betsey gives this quilt a 15! The only reason this piece is being listed as a sale quilt is the slight wear on some of the solid Turkey red. If enjoyed as wall art, these imperfections will be virtually unnoticeable. |

Q6228 Sawtooth Variation of Diamond in a Square c.1920 78 x 86 possibly Ohio All hand pieced and hand quilted, this beautiful two color quilt is perfect for someone who loves pure geometric graphics. The green cotton is a hard to find shade from 1920; very striking against the white background. Both the piecing and crosshatch quilting have been skillfully completed. The quilter must have been pleased with her efforts, as she signed her initials “LH”, and we are very glad she did! Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

In unused condition, the fabrics on this quilt are a fabulous collection of calicoes dating from c.1850 to c.1870. The rows of geese glow against their white background, and have been separated by bars of a beautiful vertical vine double pink calico. The double pink border is 4 ½ inches wide, with a separately applied double pink binding, and the backing is white cotton. This superior quilt was made by Josephine MacBeth from Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, who expertly hand pieced and hand quilted the geese with outlining and the border with precise half circles. Crisp and professionally hand washed by Betsey for your use on either a wall or bed. |

Q8355 Squares on Point c. 1845 90 x 94 upstate New York - was $3,400 now $2,300 An early textile collector's dream, this large quilt contains a gorgeous array of fabrics from the 1840's. Note the substitution in the top sashing; a sure sign of a time when quilters used what was available if they came up short on fabric before completing their creations. The backing is a wholecloth brown stripe and geometric print; making this quilt totally reversible. The extravagant use of such costly fabric tells us this quilt was made by a wealthy family. Early beds in New England were 52 inches square, and high off the floor. Quilts at that time extended from the floor to the top of the mattress, which is why we have quilts which will fit today’s oversized queen mattresses. A fabulous find! Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

Q8434 Star of Bethlehem c.1880 79 x 79 Pennsylvania- was $1,100 now $750 This vibrant quilt catches the eye with its deep, rich double pink background, reversing the usual graphic effect of this pattern on a light background. There are two different double pinks and an assortment of 1880's light prints and calicoes in the star, formed from 2 1/4 inch diamonds. The 3/8 inch binding has been turned over from the front to the back. The off white backing has the feel of feedsack fabric, which would be most unusual, as the fabrics used in the top are high quality cottons. The diamonds have been outline quilted, and the remainder of the quilt crosshatched in a 1 inch grid. All hand pieced and hand quilted, this quilt also comes with its maker's name, passed down through the family. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

Q6396 Unusual Log Cabin c.1920 68”x84” was $1,700, now $950 This log cabin quilt is unusual in its composition, but wonderfully graphic just the same!

Q8387 Small Scale Jacob's Ladder c. 1920 74 x 86 Illinois was $1,100, now $750 The maker of this quilt really thought outside the constraints of the 1920's pastels when she chose the fabrics for this piece. The great reds and navy are more reminiscent of a 19th century quilt, and are totally in keeping with the graphics of a Jacob's Ladder pattern. When looking at the pictures of this quilt, please don't adjust your computer monitor; the quilt was originally created using various shades of white. This quilt has been carefully outline and crosshatch quilted. The backing is also white, and the binding turned over from back to front. In unused condition, this quilt has been professionally hand washed by Betsey. |
