DQ179 Miniature Early Diamond Bars Doll Quilt
c. 1850
13 x 16 1/2
$290

A wonderful pre Civil War doll quilt done to scale. Each hand stitched diamond is a mere 1/2 inch and, although not perfect, this diminutive doll quilt is a wonderful treasure. Madder reds, double pinks, and over dyed greens are some of the fabrics you will find. The hand applied over dyed green worn binding is a scant 1/4 inch wide.

The backing is a wonderful early red, white and pink calico that shows no wear. Nice hand quilted cross hatching in white thread covers the entire quilt which has a thin batting between.

This little doll quilt, although showing wear, is a rare find and oh so sweet. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. Ask her for more details.
