CONHO2 Variation of Signature Block Quilt
c.1890
94 x 94 inches
Pennsylvania
$1,900
This signature block quilt top was created in the 1880s and finished in
the 1890s. I surmise this because the calico fabrics on the
front are from the 1880s while the wholecloth backing is from the 1890s.
As a result, we must date this as an 1890s quilt. I'm having trouble
tracking down the exact name of this pattern. If this was made in New
England, it would have been called a signature block. However this was
created in Pennsylvania and I believe it has a different name.
Measuring 94" X 94", this quilt is perfect for a queen sized bed or a
king sized bed with a 9" drop, or as an amazing piece of art for your
wall. There are thirty six 11" blocks, each block made up of 41 pieces.
Each block making up the pattern measures 2". The blocks are sashed with
a 2-1/2" red strip with 2-1/2" square corner joining blocks. In addition
we have a 6" double outer sashing, the inner strip measuring 3", the
outer strip measuring 2-1/2", ending with a separately applied 1/2"
binding. Piecing was executed by machine; all quilting was done by hand.
This is a quilt that one collects because of the graphics, as it is hard
to see the quilting on these fabrics. In perfect unused condition and
ready to be sent to your home, with free shipping, for your approval.
