Most of the fabrics used to create this very precisely made quilt top date from the 1880's...however there are a few 1890's fabrics which dates the piece. If you are a quilter and a fabric junkie this may be a piece for you to quilt. Each block is 9" square of which there are 49 created from a huge variety of prints. There is not a solid color piece of fabric on the entire quilt top! Entirely pieced by hand with perfect tiny stitches . The main colors are burgundy, gray, indigo and green. The sashing which measures 2" in width is a very unusual black and white fabric. All center squares of the blocks are blue and white prints.
In pristine condition and ready to quilt.
