Q9295 Log Cabin Sunshine and Shadows Quilt
c.1890
64 x 64 inches
Maine
$1,600
The solid black woolen logs that create the Barn Raining Log Cabin
design are so outstandingly graphic!
All "logs" are approximately 3/8" in width. The red center chimneys
measure 1-3/4" square. While most of the fabrics are woolen there are a
few scattered around linen and heavy cotton "logs". The edge is
pillowcased using a tiny overcast stitch tightly holding the three
layers together.
Hand quilting goes around the outside edge of each 6 inch block. Even
though this quilt has a thick batting, the designer was able to execute
hand quilting not usually seen on quilts the really can keep you warm.
An added feature is the much earlier Scottish design wholecloth backing.
This very expensive fabric tells us about the affluence of the
family. Piecing, quilting and finishing are all executed by hand.
The size of 64" square has given us many options for the quilt's use.
This size is perfect for graphic art, a cuddle quilt or a throw on one's
bed. Either way, this unused and now organically washed quilt is ready
to be sent, with free shipping, for your approval.
