Q8333 Double Irish Chain with Inner Streak of Lightning Border
c. 1885
84 x 96
Lancaster Co., PA
$4,600

What a stunningly graphic quilt! This hand pieced, hand quilted creation contains fabrics dating from 1815 to 1865. It gives the impression of a double border, with the use of the wide, overdyed green calico binding followed by a section heavily quilted in a wave pattern and finished with a matching overdyed green calico inner Streak of Lightning. The Double Irish Chain interior is quilted in outlines and crosshatching. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.


Please note that the full image of this quilt was shot from a slight side angle,
