Q8918 Original Whimsical Center Medallion with Nine Patch Quilt
c.1890
70 x 78 inches
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
$3,600
A wonderful piece of art which has been hanging in the front hall of my
home for a few years. Now this dramatic quilt is ready to go on to
another home.
This original whimsical Center Medallion quilt was created from both
wool challis and fine woolen fabrics. The designer of this quilt
combined a simple Nine Patch pattern, alternating with plain blocks, and
an original whimsical Center Medallion applique pattern to create a
stunning piece of art.
The Center Medallion measures 39" X 39". This section consists of the
inner applique area measuring 23" X 23", the next row emulating an
Amish design measures in width 4" with the final outside row of
triangles measuring 3-1/2 ". The triangles measure 8" x 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".
The nine patch blocks measure 7-3/4" square with the inner square
measuring approximately 2-5/8". The separately applied binding in black
wool measures 3/8".
All piecing is done by hand with the hand quilting executed in an arc
design whose rows are approximately 1" apart. The backing is a
stunningly sophisticated large scale floral vine and bird print.
