Q6059 Signature Block with Brick Border Quilt
c. 1865
84 x 84 inches
Maine
$1,800
Simplicity in design using very sophisticated designed fabric. This
totally unused quilt would perfectly fit a queen size bed with the
signature design blocks covering the top of the bed and the brick
pattern going over the sides and the foot of the bed.
Shades of rust along with black and white form the colors used for the
main fabrics, both calicoes and paisleys. For fun we have the striped
squares with the background of white and accented with a variety of
unique stripes in red, blue and black. Many of these stripes I have
never seen before. The binding is a solid black.
Hand quilting was done on the diagonal using black thread. In this case
the quilting is secondary in importance to the fabrics and graphics.
In perfect, unused condition and organically washed. This quilt maybe
sent to your home for your viewing.
