QT117 Roman Bars Quilt Top(s)
c.1928 and c.1945
58 x 98 and 41 x 91
Massachusetts
$225 each or $400 for both

Betsey found this quilt top as a “piece in progress”, measuring approximately 96 x 98 inches. Upon closer inspection, she realized the quilt top was actually two tops pieced together. One side was created from circa 1928 fabrics, and the other side from circa 1945 fabrics. We can guess that someone in the 1940’s wanted to finish an earlier quilt top, and simply continued the same pattern with fabrics of her day. The first photograph shows the entire quilt top, and detail shots are from each side. QT117a is the circa 1928 side, and measures 58 x 98 inches. QT117b is the circa 1945 side, and measures 41 x 91 inches. We have removed the seam joining these two tops, so that they may be purchased separately or together.

QT246 Redwork Quilt Top Dated 1892
78 x 88 found in Port Townsend, Washington $850
This redwork piece was originally made as a summer coverlet. If desired, this incredible textile could be backed and quilted or simply used as is over a down comforter.

QT104 Blue and White Mourning Coverlet with Shams
c.1898 Coverlet 81 x 81, plus 2 Shams, each 28 x 30
Wilmington, Delaware $1,600
Wow, wow, big wow! This is a most unusual find in perfect, unused condition, kept within the original family since 1898. During the late 1800's, many families created mourning quilts in remembrance of their loved ones, but this is the only blue and white embroidered mourning coverlet Betsey has seen in the past 20 years. Blue embroidery on white cotton is a German tradition, and commonly used by the Pennsylvania Dutch. This particular coverlet has unusual continuous line embroidery designs in each block, which surround the memorial block for Adah Peet. The continuous line embroidery has been completed in outline stitching, and the joining seams embellished with feather stitching. The two matching pillow shams have been embroidered with lilies and sentiments of sleeping and waking, perhaps alluding to death and heavenly awakening. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
